After losing hope of proving the existence of the Sumakiat Library, which disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the early 1960s, one of her books appears almost out of nowhere, more than twenty kilometers away from its location and disappearance: the complete book “Al-Shawqiyyat,” and on its inner page is written “Sammaqiyat Library.” ", and a serial number was entered.
This book revives Tawfiq Al-Khadra's hope in proving the existence of the library, which has actually become an imaginary library that never existed, because everyone denied its existence in the first place. He searches for the rest of the books, traces how they reached the people he found them with, and little by little the facts of what happened on that distant day in which the library disappeared and Faris Abu Lawz was killed are revealed to him.
ولليلتين بقيتا من شوال سنة إحدى عشرة وأربعمائة فُقد (الحاكم بأمر الله). وقيل أن سبب فقده أخته ست الملك, وكانت امرأة حازمة، وقيل أنها غضبت لأفعاله التي هددت استقرار الخلافة الفاطمية. وقيل بل تآمرت عليه جماعة سرية, حين قرب إليه رجلاً خطيراً يُدعى (الشيخ الأسود), وقيل بل اختفى لأن الله أرسل صاعقة من السماء فوق رأسه أحرقته بعد أن قال بأنه إله, وقيل أن بعض العامة قد تآمروا عليه, وقد انتشر الرعب والفزع في بر مصر كلها بسبب فرسان الظلام الذي أتى بهم ليحكموا ليل القاهرة.
