She thinks pen is a mightier tool than any powerful sword. Dynamic and talented,
Nabila Jamshed, 22, comes across as any other girl her age. But deep down, you discover something more substantial. The international edition of her debut novel,
Wish Upon a Time: The Legendary Scimitar, was recently unveiled by Roman Books.
True to its fantasy-fiction genre, the book promises unlimited fun. The storyline unfurls nuggets of myths, fairytales, supernatural elements, apparitions, warriors with sabres, winged creatures, et al. It takes readers into the world of Eyelash, a typical 15-year-old girl who is a bit more concerned with the unknown than with the known and is always ready to believe in something unbelievable. But what lies beyond the make-believe realm of otherworldly occurrences, bizarre beasts and grotesque gnomes, is a fibre of reality.
Targeted at the young-adult segment, stings of terrorism and jibes of politics are an extra bonus in the novel. A stickler for spreading world peace “with the power of ideas and imagination and in the process, translating the same into actions,” Nabila admits that she had always wanted to write a creative piece laced with the parameters of a mystical fantasy. “The USP of this tome is that it starts conversing with any given reader, irrespective of his/her age-bracket. It is not generation specific and ambles across all societies and time periods. One good advantage of trying my hand at this literary type is that it did offer me ample scope and space to toy with certain real issues and braid the same ith a tinge of mystery into the plotline,” she says.
