A Phoenix in the Night

By Muminah Khan

A searing debut about love, loss, and the beautiful yet occupied region of Kashmir.

First-year doctor Inayah and artist-engineer Zakkariyah are young and in love. Married soon after their first meeting, their relationship is threatened at the seams when Inaya suffers a devastating miscarriage.

In search of hope again, the couple ventures to Zakkariyah's homeland of Kashmir to help a crumbling orphanage. But the brutal occupation by Indian armed forces shows mercy to no one, and the tyranny erupting around them leads Inayah and Zakkariyah on diverging paths in healing from the loss of their child.

When five-year-old Basma enters their life, the couple must decide to what ends they will go to protect the people-and places-they love.
