A’isha ha solo sei anni quando viene promessa in sposa a Maometto. È ancora troppo piccola, e trascorrerà tre anni chiusa nella sua casa prima di unirsi in matrimonio con il Profeta. Durante questo periodo e dopo il matrimonio, in attesa della pubertà, A’isha non potrà vedere altri uomini al di fuori dei suoi familiari e dello stesso Maometto. Nei propri sogni, A’isha immagina spesso una vita diversa. In questa esistenza parallela, sposa il suo amichetto Safwan e, per opporsi allo strapotere maschile, non esita a impugnare la spada. Sullo sfondo, si agitano gli intensi avvenimenti che caratterizzarono la diffusione dell’Islam, a partire dalla celebre fuga dalla Mecca, quando A’isha segue il Profeta nelle sue battaglie per la nuova fede. Ormai vive nella stessa casa di Maometto e, grazie alla fierezza del suo carattere, gode del rispetto di tutti e dell’amore del Profeta. Tra le braccia di A’isha, infatti, Maometto troverà rifugio dopo aver avuto le sue visioni e tra le sue braccia si abbandonerà al momento della morte. A’isha, ormai, è una donna in grado di guidare la fazione che si oppone al cugino di Maometto per stabilire le regole dell’Islam ortodosso: il culmine di un’avventura di amore e di fede che delinea i volti e la storia delle figure più importanti del mondo musulmano.
