The Magicians of Mazda

Set against a backdrop of historical upheaval, the story begins in 720 CE with a group fleeing the Umayyad Caliphate, led by a high priest who ignites hope with a sacred fire. Centuries later, Parsi scientist Jim Dastoor is kidnapped in Seattle, pursued for an ancient relic, the Athravan Star, by the Ayatollah's men. The narrative unfolds across diverse landscapes, from ancient ruins to modern conflict zones, intertwining history and mythology as Jim and his wife, Linda, navigate a perilous chase through time and geography.
