Thalaba the Destroyer by Robert Southey

"Thalaba the Destroyer" by Robert Southey is an epic poem published in 1801. When sorcerers massacre the Hodeirah family to prevent a prophecy of their doom, young Thalaba alone escapes into the desert. Armed with a magical ring and guided by his Islamic faith, he journeys across the Middle East to face supernatural enemies. Through temptations, betrayals, and encounters with demons and fallen angels, Thalaba must choose between personal happiness and divine destiny, relying on faith rather than magic to fulfill his role as God's chosen champion.
