In the late 7th century, the Arab Empire expanded across North Africa, defeating the Persians and humbling the Byzantines, and now they seemed unstoppable. But one ruler stood in its way: Dihya, a warrior queen remembered as a sorceress, rebel and liberator. She united tribes into one of the strongest forces of resistance, and fought a battle that transformed the history of North Africa.



This is the story of Dihya, the mysterious queen who challenged one of the largest empires in history. Feared by her enemies and celebrated by her descendants, she became one of the greatest legends and symbols of resistance.
