Outline of 'The Sultans' Lie'

Second Novel - So far called 'The Sultans lie'

This novel is only in the beginning stages of the first draft. The protagonist is a druid from the Amazon rainforest who has teleported to the sandy deserts of Egypt. Having red hair and very white fine skin, the sun takes a toll on her and she's forced to use the energy of the earth to quickly find a nearby town. She travels on the consciousness of the wind and finds Tiet, an ancient Egyptian city that has been isolated from the outside modern world. The sultan of the city is preserving traditional ways of life by paying off it's neighbours and Egyptian government. Only a select few people of Tiet know about the modern world, and there is conflict about whether Tiet should be allowed to trade with neighbouring cities. After Feteira the druid teleports to Tiet, she enters the mind of Prince Haydar to learn about traditions and layout of the city. She uses up too much energy and faints.
She awakes in the Prince's quarters of the palace grounds. She is not being held prisoner as Haydar makes a pact with her - she helps the city recover from drought and economical hardship and he helps her find her son.

Feteira left the amazon because men with machines destroyed her home. Her son was about the age of five and teleported as they cut down the forest. The men wouldn't have seen the druid people because once in the rainforest they're invisible to man. Her son could've teleported to anywhere in the world including the ocean or somewhere dangerous. She's not even sure if he's alive. But first, she must help the city of Tiet.

Feteira changes the people around her to care more for nature and living things and they teach her about human ways, including suffering and love.

It's an odd plot, but hopefully it all turns out well. I suspect there will be two books in this series.
