Inspired by the true story of a real prince of pre-Islamic Arabia: Prince Walid ordered a man to create an impossible work of art. After the man died weaving it, Walid discovered his life's quest: to recover the piece and earn forgiveness for his mistakes. "This beautifully symmetrical tale of the possibility of redemption, of fate vs. free will, of the necessity of heart in art, will enthrall readers young and old." - Kirkus Starred Review
