Summary of Under the Full and Crescent Moon
What if the fiercest weapon against injustice wasn’t a sword—but a pen?
In the golden heart of a medieval empire, young Khadija steps into a role few expect her to fill: the scribe of Medina’tul-Agham’s most revered jurist—her father. What begins as a quiet escape from her sheltered world becomes a calling when Khadija discovers the strength of the matriarchy led by Imam Fatima and the Circle of Mothers. But when zealots threaten to unravel the city’s peace by twisting sacred law into a tool of oppression, you are drawn into a battle where belief, identity, and survival hang in the balance. With parchment in hand and justice in her heart, Khadija must write fatwas that could save her people—or be buried with them. This unforgettable tale from the Islamic Golden Age will inspire anyone who has ever dared to speak truth to power.
