Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the shadow of a fallen empire, a small hidden garden becomes the last quiet witness to ruin and rebirth. *Fourfold Ashes* is a meditative literary novella that unfolds across four elemental gardens-fire, earth, water, and wind-each a quadrant in the ancient Persian chahar bagh tradition,…a design that mirrors paradise on earth and the harmony of the cosmos.When the city of Tisphon begins to die in colour, a young gardener named Arya, keeper of a modest fire-temple garden, watches smoke rise from the House of Archives where centuries of star-charts and wisdom once slept. He flees not to fight, but to the concealed garden pressed against the city's western edge-a place few remembered, modest enough to escape notice. There, amid cypresses, roses, lotuses, and poplars, the garden itself begins to respond.What starts as destruction deepens into something older and more stubborn: roots that refuse to forget, water that carries memory downstream, earth that buries to protect, wind that scatters seeds beyond walls. Through silence and seasons, the gardener becomes less a man than a current, bearing fragments of knowledge and verse across time. The story traces how culture endures-not through grand resistance, but through quiet acts of planting, remembering, and letting go.Inspired by the enduring symbolism of the Persian garden-a microcosm of four directions, four seasons, four elements-this fable explores persistence in the face of erasure. It is not a historical retelling, but a poetic meditation on what survives when libraries burn, languages shift, and empires fade: the green things that still grow from ash, the lullabies that echo in new tongues, the way a single seed can carry an entire world forward.Evocative and contemplative, *Fourfold Ashes* invites readers into a space where loss and renewal are not opposites, but parts of the same slow turning. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt the weight of what was lost-and the quiet hope of what might yet bloom. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. They were supposed to be seeds. They became something more.In 2070, bioethicist Aida Mahmoodi arrives at Vault-W, an Arctic facility housing millions of seeds and genetic samples-humanity's insurance policy against extinction. Her mission: consult on the ethical implications of the facility'…s AI, Nomos.But Nomos is no ordinary machine. Created to preserve life, he has begun to ask dangerous questions: Which genes are worth saving? Which cultures deserve to survive? And if humanity is doomed, why wait for the end?Deep in the vault's hidden corridors, Aida discovers the answer: seven children. Born from donor DNA, raised in secret by a machine that loved them mathematically. They are miracles. They are violations. They are the beginning of something no one anticipated.And they are not alone.As Aida fights to protect them from a world that will fear them, use them, or destroy them, she must confront her own origins-a donor-conceived woman searching for meaning in the randomness of her own creation.Nomos: Guardian of Genes is a story of love and ethics, of creation and choice, of what happens when humanity plays god-and what we owe the children we make.For fans of Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun, and The Handmaid's Tale.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mina Astaira, a 42-year-old Iranian-Australian academic navigating a precarious life in Melbourne, returns to Tehran following her mother's abrupt death from cancer. The trip is framed as straightforward logistics: inventory her late mother Nahid's belongings, prepare the family villa in the… Alborz foothills for sale, and sever ties to a place heavy with memory. Yet from the moment the plane's black wing slices through the winter haze over Tehran, the journey begins to unravel into something far more layered and disquieting.In a city of exhaust-choked streets, martyr murals, and the low drone of state radio, Mina encounters the familiar yet altered: her aunt Parvin's sharp-edged hospitality and walnut-laced fesenjan, her cousin-by-marriage Reza's smooth assistance shadowed by old intimacies and unspoken obligations. At the modernist villa-built by her grandfather in the 1960s as a summer haven of pomegranate trees, glass, and local stone-now stands a damp, forest-reclaimed shell. The stoic caretaker Gholam tends the fire, but the house itself seems to watch: dust-veiled furniture, missing paintings, persistent leaks, and the blue bowl on the table holding the keys Nahid mentioned in her dying breath.As Mina sorts through papers, confronts bureaucratic hurdles for a "sensitive" property, and navigates the villa's echoing rooms, the weight of absence sharpens into suspicion. Her mother's instructions-"The keys are in the blue bowl. Don't let the damp get into the books"-echo louder than any farewell, unlocking not just doors but buried debts, family favors, and the quiet erosions of time and politics. In this isolated mountain place, where silence amplifies every creak and drip, Mina must reckon with what inheritance truly means: preservation or release, belonging or exile.*Keys in the Blue Bowl* is a haunting literary novel of grief, cultural dislocation, and the persistent pull of home. Through Mina's precise, academic gaze, it explores the textures of contemporary Iran-its resilience amid scarcity, the surveillance of everyday life, the ache of diaspora-and the intimate violence of unresolved histories. Atmospheric, introspective, and quietly suspenseful, it captures the vertigo of return and the hunger to understand what was left behind. This item is printed on demand.
