One night in the land of Alifbay, twelve-year-old Luka’s world shatters—his father, Rashid, falls into an unbreakable sleep. Nothing can wake him. Nothing, except for the legendary Fire of Life, a mythical force hidden deep in a world of magic.
With his loyal companions—Bear, the dog, and Dog, the bear—Luka embarks on a perilous quest through an enchanted realm where the impossible is real. Along the way, he’ll face cunning tricksters, dangerous trials, and strange allies, all while racing against time to save his father.
From the mind of Salman Rushdie, Luka and the Fire of Life is a dazzling adventure brimming with humor, heart, and magic—perfect for readers who love fantastical quests, clever heroes, and worlds where imagination reigns supreme.
