Behind the Book:
Long long ago, a group of sorcerers created tilism or a magical land. It is a world of spirits and talismans, where mountains change shape, fairies spring from the earth, dragon’s head dart out of flowers, and things are rarely what they seem. But it has a limited lifespan for its destruction is preordained. Hoshruba is its name, and it is ruled by the bold sorcerer Afrasiyab. Prophecies claim that Hoshruba will someday fall to a hero who possessed the key to the tilism. But the key has been lost, and Afrasiyab, with his invincible army of sorcerers, has remained the unchallenged ruler of the land.
