Description
Volume 2 opens and closes with tales of tragic conflict between a king and his son: Prince Seyavash and Prince Esfandiyar are both driven from the court by their foolish fathers to confront destiny and death in distant lands. Interwoven with Seyavashs story is the tale of his stepmother Sudabehs lust for her young stepson, and of his escape from her tricks by the famous trial by fire; Esfandiyars story involves the last combat of the great Rostam, a fight to the death which leads to Rostams own demise at the hands of his evil brother Shaghad. Between these two stories the reader travels through a wondrous landscape of romance, demons, heroic despair and mystical renunciation of the world.
