The Thin Executioner by Darren O’Shaughnessy (Farsi)

Description

Jebel Rum, the scrawny son of a famous executioner, feels disgraced when he’s passed over as his father's successor. Determined to prove his worth, he embarks on a perilous journey to the distant mountain of a fire god who grants invincibility—if a human sacrifice is offered. Alongside a slave named Tel Hesani, whom Jebel initially intends to sacrifice, he confronts treacherous lands, strange creatures, and even stranger truths. As the miles pass, Jebel's understanding of honor, freedom, and humanity transforms, making this story as much a spiritual awakening as it is an epic quest.
