What Readers Are Saying
ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS
4.2 / 5 across all platforms
“I expected a pleasant young adult fantasy. What I did not expect was to be sitting bolt upright at two in the morning, absolutely unable to stop reading. Nabeel Tahir has done something I hold in the highest regard — he made me forget myself entirely. Book II cannot come soon enough.”
“This novel combines mystery, magic, and personal growth in a compelling way. The detailed world-building and gradual reveal of secrets keep readers curious and invested throughout. A great pick for anyone who enjoys meaningful fantasy stories.”
“I thought it would be another typical fantasy story about magic and destiny, but the real story is about identity. Nora is not just discovering a magical world; she is dealing with the discomfort of not fully belonging anywhere. It made me think — and that is always the real value of a book.”

About the Author
From Reader to Storyteller
Books have been my companions for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother did something truly magical — she enrolled my siblings and me in our local public library at a very young age. That simple act opened a world of wonder for us.
I still remember the thrill of taking turns to read the same book, eagerly waiting as each sibling dove into another universe before passing it on. From the bold heroes of Marvel and DC to the thrilling mysteries of the Hardy Boys, and the vibrant, humorous world of the Archies, our childhood was a shared journey through stories.
As I grew older, my appetite for storytelling expanded. Science fiction became my playground, and then came Harry Potter — a series that completely blew my mind. The way it blended magic, mystery, and emotional depth sparked something powerful in me.
Now, years later, as a father to two beautiful little souls, I find myself dreaming up stories once again — only this time, they're my own. One particular story had been kindling inside me for a long while. It stayed with me — evolving, growing, whispering to be written. So, I finally did it. I penned it down. And now, I want to share it with you.
My book series is titled Kindled by Magic, and the first installment is Born of Two Realms. It's a journey into a world shaped by imagination — one that's brimming with magic, mystery, suspense, and the echoes of ancient wonder. My deepest hope is that it sweeps you away the same way those early stories once did for me.
