For thousands of years the eldest son of the Rahal bloodline has been sent to Algeria to be the keeper of the mysterious Dhakir when the old keeper dies. This time it is Hadi Rahal's turn to leave behind his life in Milan as fashion assistant and take up the role of the keeper. Hadi does not want to go but the shame that he would bring upon his family overrides his own desires and life for Hadi will never be the same.
This story was good but it really did not ring any bells and whistles for me. The religious overtones did not bother me but I can see some bible thumpers having an aneurysm. I thought that the bloodline of Jesus' brother being the ones to service Judas was a nice twist. I found both Judas and Hadi to be fairly flat and mechanical. There was no heavy emotional upheaval or tension between the two men. Hadi just automatically accepted his role as keeper without any fight. I did feel sorry for Judas for having eternal life and having to watch everyone that he loved or cared for die. It would have been interesting if he and the female Rahal had a baby. The other thing that I found hard to swallow was that in two thousand years Judas had never fallen for a man. The odds are distinctly against that never happening but I guess then that Hadi would not have been special. The story flowed well and the writing was good.
