Rostam of the Shahnameh

By Samuel DenHartog

Across the mountains of Persia and the palaces of kings rises a warrior unlike any other. Born with strength beyond imagining and bound to the great horse Rakhsh, Rostam becomes the defender of a nation, facing demons, dragons, and rival armies that threaten the land. His story begins in wonder and triumph, shaped by loyalty to throne and country, yet never free from the weight of destiny.

Through battles of fire and steel, his victories echo with glory, but his life is marked as much by sorrow as by triumph. The warrior's hand strikes down countless enemies, yet it also delivers the most heartbreaking blow when fate sets father against son. His journey is one of unmatched power, but also of tragic loss, bitter choices, and the heavy crown of honor that can never be set aside.

Drawn from the pages of the Shahnameh, this book brings together the full arc of a hero's life, from miraculous birth to final betrayal, in vivid storytelling that captures both the grandeur and the humanity of one of the world's greatest epic figures. It is a saga of courage, grief, loyalty, and fate, carrying the reader into the beating heart of Persian legend.
