Persian Tale: A Novel of the Ancient Past

For thousands of years, the lands of the ancient Near East have been a realm of striking contrasts-where vast, windswept deserts give way to fertile valleys and lush landscapes; where magnificent cities rise from the earth in splendor while nomadic tribes wander beneath endless skies. It is a world shaped by both conflict and faith, where fierce rivalries exist alongside profound spiritual devotion.

A Persian Tale chronicles the rise of the legendary city of Ishlandoen, a thriving metropolis born from the Persian desert and destined to become the cradle of a new spiritual vision. At the heart of the story is Ravi, a reluctant leader trained from birth to unite scattered desert tribes into a single nation. His journey unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue, ancient prophecy, and the struggle to forge a lasting civilization. It is the story of a powerful nemesis, the emperor of Lydia, who resides in pampered luxury while his kingdom is rampant with unspeakable crimes of lack. It is the tale of a mysterious Egyptian holy man who possesses mystical powers found nowhere else on earth. And it is the story of two young lovers separated by a desert but destined to find one another.

Filled with mystery, adventure, romance, and spiritual awakening, A Persian Tale transports readers into the heart of ancient Persia.
