Om boken

In a world where the sun has been dead for more than a millennium, two figures collide on a path that ends in tragedy.

In the city-state of Saamzar, built at the foot of Mount Damavand, a technocratic dictator seeks to gain full control of the city through mastery of Light, the world’s most advanced magical force. Far to the south, in the Persian Gulf, a stoic warrior from the nomads beyond the walls of the city-states is condemned to death. In his execution, he encounters the tyrant King Zahhak, a being with serpents hungering for the brain of the youth upon his shoulders—who promises the return of Light as the cosmic force and demands to be freed.

The dictator’s thirst for dominance hardens into obsession, which demands more than her raw talent with the power of Light for victory. A victory that, if achieved, sees the end of one battle, but not what is coming. For the warrior rises against the city in his pursuit of freeing Zahhak from his prison, Mount Damavand. Their struggles converge in a final confrontation that binds philosophy, mythology, and fate into one tragic reckoning.
