Fate brings father and son to opposite sides of a brutal tribal battle, neither recognizing the other on the battlefield. After the Banu Hilalis emerge victorious over the Banu Zahlanis and Abu Zayd returns home as a celebrated hero, an even greater war erupts against the Zirids — a dynasty that had abandoned Shiism.
