Summary

From isis.dreamwidth.org: "The scion of a crime family in a nifty futuristic Middle Eastern setting (I imagined a sort of Dubai) must deal with a possible threat in the person of a charming troublemaker."

From fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org: "In a steampunk Middle East, Saif is the mechanist son of the ruling crime Family. He gets involved with a charming, trouble-making high roller at the family casino, who's doubtless up to no good. Also includes a handsome automaton, corruption, and fancy flying machines."
