Answer:
Angeline navigates her new life as a slave to a concubine of a Prince of Egypt by learning the Egyptian language and customs and eventually earning her freedom. Angeline is a curious french girl who always wanted to travel the world. On her trip to Egypt, Angeline and her friend Stephen were kidnapped and sold into slavery to a fellow named Zeid. Zeid works for Emir, who is a prince and is greatly respected by the Sultan himself. Angeline is taken to Cairo where she will serve as a slave to the Prince's concubine, Zahra, who is part of a harem inside the Prince's beautiful palace. Since she doesn't speak Arabic, she must communicate through drawings and gestures. Soon, she charms Zahra's children with her beautiful drawings which also help her forget the fact that she is enslaved. Zahra isn't an unkind mistress and Angeline hopes that she can communicate with her mistress to find out where her friend Stephen was taken. Since Angeline is so good with the quill, Zahra teaches Angeline how to write and speak Arabic. One day, Angeline sees Stephen working in the palace gardens. She breaks protocol and shouts to try to get Stephen's attention and this angers Zahra. The next few days, Zahra keeps a closer watch on Angeline and doesn't let her go out or do anything on her own, making Angeline despair of every being able to speak to Stephen. Angeline soon learns that she must tread wisely and quickly learn the customs of her new life if she doesn't want to bring trouble for herself.
