Oman 1959 - Pre oil wealth and under the old Sultan's tyrannical
rule. Young doctor James McRae is looking for adventure. He takes
up a post at the British Consulate and finds a country riddled in
witchcraft and medieval practices. A forbidden encounter with the
young wife of an elderly sheikh changes the course of his once
carefree life forever. Canterbury 1985 - Art student Charlotte
Brett Sinclair is besotted by Marcus, her rugby player boyfriend.
When they marry and move to a villa in Muscat the future looks
rosy. Ambitious Marcus has a glittering career ahead in
international banking. But the excesses of the Middle East, and
echoes from an untold past, conspire to bring about a very
different destiny. Sheikh's grandson Juma Al Ghafira was born in a
mud fort in the desert. Oil concessions granted on tribal lands
bring unimagined prosperity - an English public school education
and a Cambridge degree. But when Juma's two worlds collide he is
forced to choose between his duty and the woman he loves.
