Not everyone is lucky when it comes to Love. Stephen was one such unlucky guy. He had always been rejected by every girl that came in his life. But fortune favours the bold. As if contrived by destiny, one evening Stephen met the beautiful and charming Clara. He knew her from his childhood but she was forgotten with the passage of time. Though much older to him, Clara was the person who saw right through his soul. She comforted him and always stood by his side. Stephen wanted to marry her but she was reluctant. She knew that society and their families would outcast them for such a decision. Amidst the social pressure, family chaos, and intense heat of the scorching desert, they shared their pains and sorrows, and it changed their lives forever!

Saffron Dreams is Aliakbarkhani's fourth poetry collection that explores cultural expectations, immigration, and the inevitable struggle of trying to reconcile one's identity in the West with roots firmly planted in the East. Saffron Dreams shares equal parentage with hope for the future and the importance of remembering one's past. In her lyrical and delicate poetic style, Aliakbarkhani grasps at hard topics--like cultural erasure, religious persecution, women's rights--from the gaze of the middle eastern diaspora. Her powerful imagery transports readers to the mountains of Alborz, the shores of the Caspian Sea, and the bustling bazaars of Tehran, before returning them home in comfort. Saffron Dreams is an intimate celebration of identity and culture that takes readers to far away lands while meeting them deeply in the familiar with love. Saffron Dreams is an offering of chai and dates. A family tapestry bound in white pages. A literary homecoming.

"The Days of Chivalry; Or, The Legend of Croquemitaine" by Quatrelles is divided into three sections. The first section is about Charlemagne's jousts at Fronsack. Section two is all in dream-quests and visions both Charlemagne's and Marsillus of Saragosa as well as Charlemagne's nephew Roland's adventures in Spain. The third section is pure fiction and is about Charlemagne's godchild, little heroine Mitaine, and her errand to find and destroy Fortress of Fear where the Lord of Fear with his children dwell. This book famously inspired The Lord of The Rings, thanks to the fantastical quality of the story and its impact on the world.
