The Abbasid Caliphate: Crescent Moon and Ink

The story's main setting is Baghdad, capital of the Abbasid Caliphate: a circular city known as the “City of Peace” and the center of the world. The Baghdad of this book is more than a city; it's a living organism, a political maelstrom, a commercial artery, and a sanctuary of culture. The House of Wisdom is its beating heart of knowledge.
