For millennia, the Arab world has been one of extremes: a place
where wind-swept desert plains coexist with tropical climes and
rich vegetation. It is a place where the splendor and majesty of
some of the largest and oldest cities on earth provide a stark
contrast to wandering desert nomads who travel with all belongings
in tow-a place where warring peoples are as common as a depth of
spiritual commitment found few places on earth. This novel traces
the development of the legendary city of Ishlandoen, a great
metropolis that arose on the plains of the Persian desert and
eventually gave birth to the Zoroastrian faith. The story follows
the life of a reluctant leader, Ravi, who was trained from his
birth to bring a scattered desert people together into one nation.
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 who are separated by a
desert and are destined to find one another. Woven together with
accounts of magic and mystery, desert skirmishes and intrigue,
passion and one's search for meaning, the story explores the wonder
of ancient Persia. Within its pages, A Persian Tale describes the
formation of a new city upon the hills and the plains of a desert,
destined to forever alter the history of its people, laying the
foundation for one of the most important religious movements that
the world would ever know.
