“Am I A Hostage?” “Am I A Hostage?” Caroline stared at Karim while a million unnamed dreams shattered into dust. “It is natural that you will feel anger.” “Why do they say you are a prince? Are you?” Her voice seemed to be coming from a distance. “Caroline, come upstairs where we can talk in comfort,” he urged her. “There is much to tell you, much for you to understand.” “If I have a choice, it is to leave this place now. If I have no choice, I await Your Majesty’s order. But I will not pretend that I go anywhere willingly in your company.” “Then I order you upstairs,” he replied calmly.

Karim’s Inheritance The Jewel Seal of Shakur
There was once a king of ancient and noble lineage who ruled over a land that had been blessed by God. This land, Barakat, lying on the route of one of the old Silk Roads, had for centuries received the cultural influences of many different worlds. Its geography, too, was diverse: it bordered the sea; then the desert, sometimes bleak with its ancient ruins, sometimes golden and studded with oases, stretched inland for many miles, before meeting the foothills of snow-capped mountains that captured the rain clouds and forced them to deliver their burden in the rich valleys. It was a land of magic and plenty and a rich and diverse heritage.
But it was also a land of tribal rivalries and not infrequent skirmishes. Because the king had the ancient blood of the Quraishi kings in his veins, no one challenged his right to the throne, but many of the tribal chieftains whom he ruled were in constant jealousy over their lands and rights against the others.
