Fatima

Fatima dwells among the women captive in Emir El Akir's seraglio in Lydda during the Third Crusade. Pressured by authority, she reveals Barbara Wright's hiding spot to her master, exposing fragile loyalties among the prisoners. Fear dominates her responses, erupting into hysteria when violence erupts and her betrayal rebounds. She contends with peers like Maimuna, who denounce her, embodying the terror and moral strain of harem life under tyranny.
