“A journey of wisdom beyond kingdoms and time”

As King David’s reign nears its end, his eldest son, Joseph, is destined to inherit the throne, while his younger brother, Raymond, devotes himself to understanding the villagers—walking among them, listening to their struggles and hopes, and earning their trust.

When a black raven appears before the king, he takes it as an omen of death and decides to divide his kingdom between his two sons. Aware that such a decision may cause conflict, Raymond—though wiser and more suited to rule—humbly asks that Joseph reign alone.

Following King David’s passing, a vivid dream inspires Raymond to leave the palace behind and embark on a journey of enlightenment. Guided by compassion, courage, and reason, he dedicates his life to the poor and powerless, mediating disputes and teaching through example. In doing so, he discovers that true leadership lies not in power, but in empathy and understanding.

The Wise Traveller is a timeless fable about virtue, humility, and the transformative power of wisdom.

Belonging to a royal family in the Middle East, Shahzadeh Zaman is a student of mathematics, psychology, and the humanities, granting him great insight into the world around him and those living within it. An attractive, handsome man with a sound moral compass, he enjoys interacting with people from as many backgrounds as possible, charming them with his pleasant manner and eyes that radiate trust.

In writing The Wise Traveller, Shahzadeh demonstrates that reaching out to others with heartfelt honesty and conviction is a more effective means of connection than adhering to time-honoured customs and traditions, which can restrain and imprison people. In doing so, he wishes to highlight his belief that there are wiser, more compassionate paths to enlightenment than pre-existing channels, while encouraging alternative means of leadership and taking responsibility – both for oneself and others, in surrounding and external communities – to create a more harmonious, understanding civilisation.
