Wujdan: An Emirati Boy and a Miraculous Escape
The novel is a thriller centered on courage, faith, and national ambition. Wujdan, an intelligent and principled son of Sheikh Ammar Al-Nafees, is kidnapped during a covert stop on his father's journey to Paris. The crime is not motivated by ransom, but by business rivalry. Sheikh Ammar is leading the Khayaal Project, a revolutionary futuristic city designed to secure long-term prosperity for the UAE beyond oil. Threatened by this bold vision, powerful international corporate forces orchestrate the kidnapping to pressure him into abandoning the project.

Sheikh Ammar is leading the Khayaal Project, a revolutionary futuristic city designed to secure long-term prosperity for the UAE beyond oil. Threatened by this bold vision, powerful international corporate forces orchestrate the kidnapping to pressure him into abandoning the project.
While Sheikh Ammar faces an agonizing moral dilemma- either to save his son or protect his nation's future-Wujdan endures captivity on a remote island guarded by mercenaries. Despite fear and isolation, he refuses to surrender his dignity. His compassion leads him to rescue a wounded golden eagle, forming a symbolic bond that reflects his own struggle for freedom. Through an act of faith, he sends his father a powerful message: Bow only to God. Strengthened by his son's courage, Ammar refuses to yield to his competitors. As tensions rise and the kidnappers' unity fractures, father and son are ultimately reunited, proving that faith, resilience, and imagination cannot be subdued.
