Giafar rides out of Damascus with the bride Attaf surrendered to him — but slander follows her litter home. A body planted in a garden, a confession made to spare his neighbours, a rope at the gallows, and a jailer who keeps faith: the book's remaining pages come true, until Attaf himself stands before the caliph and asks mercy for the man who tried to destroy him. Attaf the Generous — Part Two of Two.
