RUGHUM & NAJDA is a love story set in the Islamic Golden Age of a ninth century Baghdad. Rughum and Najda are complete opposites: one is a devout Muslim; the other, a practitioner of black magic. While their passion transcends all difference, will they be able to rise above the obstacles of their complete different worlds? Samar Habib's historical novel is the first of its kind, and begins the much-needed discussion on female sexuality of that era.
