Rumi: Captives of the Light

‘Freedom lay on the other side of that door.
Everything beyond it — the
skies, the fields, the rivers and the mountains
— had become her prison.
She was a captive in Konya, a captive in her
own house. Everything she
longed for was in that room behind the door,
yet she was locked out —
locked out of Mevlana.’

Rumi – Captives of the Light gives voice to Kerra Khatun, Rumi’s steadfast wife, and Kimia, his innocent step-daughter, whose lives are forever altered by a love that transcends reason and defies convention. In a time where passion and exile walk hand in hand, they must confront betrayal, longing and the unseen cost of spiritual enlightenment.

This is a story not only of those who seek the light — but of those who burn in its fire.
