In the 13th century, young slave Hitara was entrusted by a trader to a family of scholars in Tus, eastern Iran, for her education. She first tried to flee, but learned the value of knowledge. Mistress Fatima cherished her like a daughter, and she studied many works, including Euclid’s Elements. Eight years after the heir Muhammad left for Nishapur to pursue learning, the Mongols struck Tus. Tolui’s army captured Hitara; Fatima was killed protecting her. Elements was seized as well. Taken to Mongolia, Hitara began to plot revenge against the Mongols.
