Heba Hamzeh is a mother to three extraordinary children who inspired her vocation as an author. One evening, Heba finished reading her son a bedtime book, and he asked for another story. At that moment, Heba decided to weave a tale about a boy named Prince Zaaki. The following night, her son asked for another Prince Zaaki adventure, and so the Kingdom of Luella began to grow. Forthwith, Prince Zaaki bedtime stories became a ritual -- a nightly occurrence -- as her son would sit in bed, enraptured, as Heba described a magical world full of mystical characters and mysterious places and memorable battles.

And so Prince Zaaki and the Royal Sword of Luella evolved and as you are reading this, Heba continues to create new characters and plots for her second, follow-on, book which will be out in November 2021.
