Death passes by here

Author's name: Abdo Khal

Death doesn't just pass through the village of "Al-Sawdaa"; it resides there, never leaving. And death in Al-Sawdaa is called "Al-Sawadi"; the master of the terrifying castle from which whoever enters it leaves only to the cemetery. He is surrounded by a corrupt, greedy, and insatiable entourage, and is guarded and his crimes committed by an army of cruel, undeterred followers. But this is not only a story of tyranny, but also of the brave men who stand up to it: Al-Zayla'i and Abdo Khawaja, who swore to kill Al-Sawadi; Darwish "the Madman" who challenges Al-Sawadi and his men whenever the opportunity arises; Abdullah Al-Shaqi, who preaches in the mosque, inciting people to rebel; and Shibrin, who waits for the right moment to take revenge.
