Overview

In a world where hunger is a currency and conscience is a liability, one boy must decide the weight of his own soul. The ""Great Dearth"" has turned the city into a theater of survival. In the heart of the camp lies the ""Market of Gangrene,"" a place ruled by ""The Master"" and built on a cruel alchemy: the corruption of pure flour with bitter, crystalline salt. Here, ""White Gold"" is more precious than life, and the ""Shadowless Men"" trade in the desperation of their neighbors. Salem, a young boy with a ""granite mask"" of indifference, has become the Master's apprentice. He has learned to balance the scales of deceit, hardening his heart to the ""Crystalline Stillness"" of the world around him. But as the salt begins to crystallize in the lungs of those he loves, and the ""Metaphor of the Mending"" starts to pull at his spirit, Salem faces a final calibration. Observed through the eyes of Omar, a witness to the slow erosion of humanity, The Land of Scattered Dreams is a haunting literary allegory. It is a story of ""Clandestine Atonement"" and the struggle to find ""Pure Heat"" in a corrupted environment. Will Salem remain a pillar of the Master's empire, or will a single ""Nod of the Head"" signal the liberation of a city's breath? A profound exploration of ethics, resilience, and the ""Internal Compass,"" this debut novel by Abdelsamad Alhissi is a testament to the enduring power of mercy over greed.
