by Hooda Chawa Qaddumi
I am the revealer of secrets; in me are marvels of wisdom and strange and hidden things! If an ancient device could tell you the future, would you dare to know? "The Secret Revealer" is a time travel adventure story based on an Islamic art artifact in the British Museum. On a summer school trip to the museum, the teenage boy Omar is intrigued by an intricately designed metallic automata suspended in a glass cabinet in the Islamic Art Department. Peering at its enigmatic Kufic calligraphic inscription, he reads "I am the revealer of secrets; in me are marvels of wisdom and strange and hidden things". Omar is transported back in time to Baghdad to the year 1241 of the Abbasid era. An encounter with astrologer, scientist and creator of the device, the enigmatic Khutlukh, results in an adventurous quest that includes a visit to the Sultan's palace, a secret labyrinthine library of magical manuscripts and a menagerie of exotic animals. The twosome, accompanied by a cheeky monkey, embark on a mission to present the Secret Revealer device to the glamorous Queen of Egypt, Shajar al Durr who is desperate for means to hold on to power of her crumbling court as sinister forces eager to claim the magical "Secret Revealer" are at work.
