Prologue: A Call to the Desert

In the heart of Victorian England, amidst a world of propriety and societal constraints, a young woman named Lilias Trotter felt an irresistible stirring within her soul. Born into a wealthy and privileged family, Lilias longed for something more profound than the life expected of her.

Driven by an unwavering faith and a deep compassion, Lilias heard a clarion call from the depths of her heart. The cry came from the Algerian Sahara, a vast and unforgiving desert where countless tribes lived in isolation and spiritual darkness.
