Book excerpt: My thanks go to Professor Harry Norris and Dr Michael Brett of the School of Oriental and African Studies for their wonderful books on Berbers, Tuaregs and this era as well as their helpful information and encouragement. All mistakes are of course mine. Thank you to my brother Ben, whose different way of sensing illness is both fascinating and strange to me. It gave me the inspiration for some of Hela’s skills, although I think he is a great deal wiser. Huge gratitude to the University of Surrey for giving me funding for my PhD in Creative Writing, allowing me freedom and valuable writing time for multiple projects over three years. And especially to Dr Paul Vlitos, who has already improved my writing craft with his knowledge and encouragement. To my beta readers for this book: Camilla, Elisa, Etain and Helen, thank you so much for all your insights and questions as well as your demands for the next book! You make each book better. And always, my thanks to Ryan, who makes all things possible and to Seth and Isabelle for putting up with Mamma having her head in the clouds.
