Noura’s Odyssey: The Talisman’s Origins

There are stories that do not fade. Stories etched into the land's bones,

whispered by the wind through Lebanon's cedars. This is one of them. A tale

of gods and guardians, of a sacred relic lost to time… and a child who may

yet awaken its power.

Long ago, when the stars still brushed the mountaintops, the goddess

Astarte walked among mortals. Where her feet touched the earth, olive trees

burst forth, rivers swelled with life, and wheat grew golden under her gaze.

But when invaders came with fire and blade, Astarte wept tears of crimson

crystal. Each one became a seed of divine fury.

From the heart of a dying star, she forged a talisman: lapis lazuli veined with

celestial fire, pulsing with the promise of protection. "Only in the darkest

hour", she vowed, "will its light return." She entrusted it to the El Quaysi

bloodline. The Steadfast Ones. Their descendants guarded it for centuries,

until the talisman vanished into myth…

But myths have a way of stirring when they are needed most.

Now, in a town clinging to survival, young Noura El Quaysi stands at the edge

of ruin. Her family's restaurant, the heart of their community, faces

destruction. And somewhere beneath the soil, between the pages of

forgotten history, the talisman waits.

Is Noura the one Astarte's prophecy foretold? Will she find the relic before the

last embers of her people's hope fade?

This much I will say: The talisman is real. The bloodline endures. And the

hour grows dark.

The rest of the story? That, dear reader, lies within the pages of Noura's

Odyssey. Where myth and destiny collide, and a single spark could set the

world ablaze.

Order now to uncover the secret the mountains have kept for millennia…
