About the Book Yatha ahu vairyo atha ratush ashat chit hacha vangheush... As the master, so is the judge to be chosen in accord with truth. Several boats dock at the port of Sanjan in Gujarat in 720 CE. They carry eighteen thousand frightened souls fleeing the cruelty of Iran's Umayyad Caliphate. Chanting Sanskrit-like prayers, their high priest consecrates a sacred fire to thank their god, Ahura Mazda, for providing them a new home and hope. He uses a mysterious substance to spark the flame, but few know of its miraculous properties or provenance. Centuries later, Parsi scientist Jim Dastoor is abducted from his Seattle laboratory and whisked away to Tehran. The Ayatollah perceives Jim as key to uncovering the ancient relic known as the Athravan Star and his men will do anything to get it, murder included. Jim and his historian wife Linda are sucked into a terrifying chase from the ancient ruins of Persepolis to the Taliban camps of Afghanistan; from the womb of an Udvada fire temple to the icy mountains of Kashmir; and from the dreadful coffin cells of Tehran to the deathly calm of Diu's Tower of Silence. Deftly alternating between time and geography, The Magicians of Mazda traces a journey that travels backward, through the epochs of Islamic jihad, Macedonian revenge, Achaemenid glory, messianic birth, Aryan schism-and the Vedic fount from where it began. Set vividly against changing landscapes, this is Ashwin Sanghi's most gripping and provocative novel yet, one that barely allows the reader time to breathe.
