Ashes of Baghdad: The Day the Golden Age Died
A Historical Fiction Masterpiece Based on the True Fall of the House of Wisdom
Baghdad, 1258.
Once the crown jewel of the Islamic Golden Age, Baghdad was a city of breathtaking knowledge and unmatched culture. Home to the legendary House of Wisdom, it held the world's most advanced library, where scholars studied astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and philosophy from across civilizations.
Then came the Mongols.
From the ink-stained halls of the library to the dust-choked streets of the market, Ashes of Baghdad follows the lives of scholars, merchants, and a brilliant young woman named Maryam as they race to preserve humanity's greatest intellectual treasure before the city burns.
When knowledge is on the brink of annihilation, who will rise to save it?
