About this book
Set in the heart of the ancient medina of Fez, Morocco, "The Sons of Fez" by Kay Hardy Campbell (translated by Muhammad Kahal) weaves a spellbinding tale of speculative time-travel fiction. When a summer storm collapses a centuries-old wall, a hidden portal is revealed connecting the modern world with bygone eras.
What begins as an academic trip for students learning Arabic quickly transforms into an extraordinary quest. Blending rich cultural research with magical realism, the story immerses readers in Gnawa music rhythms, local folklore, and historic alleyways. Fez emerges as a living character where courage, loyalty, and faith are tested across time.
