-----

In thirteenth-century Konya, a spiritual fire ignites. Evren Sharma’s Rumi: Captives of the Light brings to life the legendary, transformative bond between revered scholar Jalal ad-Din Rumi and enigmatic mystic Shams-i Tabrizi. As poetry, devotion, and forbidden desire collide, Rumi begins his radical journey to becoming history's most beloved spiritual poet.

Yet, this sweeping story also illuminates the long-silenced struggles of the women in his shadow, wives and daughters witnessing love's power to heal and destroy. Rich with imagery of whirling dervishes and burning candles, this stunning, lyrical novel is a timeless, passionate tale of transcendence and the enduring human spirit.

Tickets are RM10, and attendees will receive a voucher to redeem on the event day.
