Yasmine al-Bahri
a pearl diving island in the Persian Gulf
Raised amidst the undulating tides of Jabal Nur, Yasmine became a sentinel of sea-bound treasures, not by choice, but ancestry. Her greatest fear is the one pearl that slips through her fingers, spiraling her into nights clouded with echoes of lost shadows against closed eyelids. The island's history pulses through her veins like the lifeline of dhows pressing onward, her delicate balance of ledgers a beacon in treacherous monetary waters.
