- Swapna Peri

Zeba, a young lady thrust with tremendous talents and the daunting task of rescuing the world, is the protagonist of the novel. Dramatically, Qureshi opens his story with Zeba, an infant, abandoned in the sacred spring of Zsa Zsa, where he is miraculously saved by a lightning strike and taken in by the prosperous Akhoon family. This establishes the scene for a story that deftly combines aspects of cultural history, fantasy, and human growth. Set in the imaginary kingdom of Khudir, Zeba pulls readers from a luxurious existence in New York to the center of a nation teeming with ancient mysteries
