Children of the Zagros

A princess defies her crown in the Zagros Mountains, home of Shahmaran and the Simurgh.

In this Kurdish fantasy, Princess Runak refuses the throne she is named to inherit. On her journey she meets Shahmaran, queen of the serpents, and the Simurgh, the immortal bird of light. Both challenge what she believes.

“A mythic dress woven from Kurdish cultural memory, inherited trauma, spiritual journeying, and the oral storytelling tradition.” — The Amargi
