A Noose of Light is a novel in which two spirits temporarily possess Anwar, a sage who has lived on a small hill in the desert, acting as an oracle dispensing advice, for as long as anyone remembers. Maryam comes to him for guidance and, under the influence of the spirits, he tells her to go to Mecca and become a prostitute. She obeys his instructions. The two spirits who caused this were djinni and they did it because they lust after human women, so her actions set up a series of events that create humorous chaos between the djinni who try to enjoy her and humans.
