Let’s read a short part of this book together:

A light appeared in the sky. A beam of white, bluish fire against the darkness of the night. He was startled. He thought he had fallen asleep and was dreaming. He saw that this round light was a beautiful lady with two large wings and a sword in her hand, as if she were rising above the eastern sky. The lady stood before him. She was wearing a battle dress and a steel helmet on her head.
“Greetings to the commander and the swift flight of the Iranian sky, Commander Azizullah.”
Azizullah asked in astonishment: “Who are you and how do you know my name?!”
The lady looked at the strong face, the magnificent bone structure, and the long nose between the two dark eyes that brought to mind the face of the wolf commander. Then, from under her battle dress, she took out the tablet of Sepand and looked at it. Then, she raised her head and firmly replied: “I am Shahrbanu, the princess of Iran and the bride of the Messenger of God.”
