The Lance of Kanana: A Story of Arabia

An Arabian desert tale follows a beardless Bedouin youth of the Beni Sads who, though inexperienced with arms, accepts perilous errands from a caliph and faces tests of courage, faith, and loyalty. Sent on rapid missions guided by a famed white camel, he moves through encounters with rival tribes, elders, and sacred rites until acquiring a consecrated lance whose single use becomes decisive. The episodic narrative traces his transformation from reluctant shepherd to a unifying figure whose sacrifice, cunning, and adherence to honor reshape tribal fortunes against desert threats.
