Foroood, Siavash’s son, is alone in the Calat Castle with his mother, Jarireh. His grandfather, Afrasiab, the ruler of Turan Land, killed his innocent father years ago. And though a long time has passed by, Forood has not forgotten this crime. A magnificent army moves on from Iran towards Turan Land. At this point Forood gets ready to go with them and at last take revenge. His mother, Jarireh, who has always been terribly upset and crying for her husband’s death, still dreams of taking revenge on his father Afrasiab too. But what is to take place if Afrasiab, the ruler of the Iranian army seeks to kill Forood, the grandchild of Esfandyar who on one hand has the Turan’s heritage and on the other hand has an Iranian origin?!

“I have no intention to listen to your advice anymore. The day I was to take revenge for the sake of my father, you told me to leave Afrasiab alone. You said he will be sorry soon. You told me he will send a messenger to you and make you his assistant. Now I want to do as I wish. I can’t bear this humiliation any longer…”

Among the Iranian literary works, the Shah-Nameh is a masterpiece especially due to its epical nature. The rich Persian prose and language of Shah-Nameh, written by the great Persian poet, Ferdousi, is still a reliable literary source for researchers and professors of the Persian Literature.
This epic enjoys several stories within itself which can be hard for a young adult to ready. The author of this series has adapted Shah-Nameh with having the keen young adults in mind as the major audience of these six books.
The author has avoided repetition of the fairy tales in order to create them through a new point of view.
