The lost prince of Kabul. My returnUpdated at Oct 10, 2026, 02:53
At age 14, he lost everything. His memory, his kingdom, his name.For ten years, Zalan has lived as "Chotu" — a dishwasher boy in a cheap hotel in Murree, Pakistan. Burnt hands, torn clothes, grey eyes that no one notices. He has the same nightmare every night: a Black Palace burning, a beautiful woman with green eyes crying "Run my son RUN!", and a King with a crown being stabbed.He thinks he is an orphan. He is wrong.He is Prince Zalan Durrani, the only heir to the throne of Kabul. The son of King Jalal Khan and Queen Rania. On his shoulder, he bears the cursed birthmark of the Durrani bloodline — a crescent moon with a star, red as blood — the mark only true kings have.Ten years ago, his own uncle, General Sher Khan, betrayed his father, opened the gates of Qala-e-Siyah (The Black Palace), and slaughtered the royal family for the throne. Zalan was saved by the loyal Wazir Akbar, but was lost in the Kabul River during their escape.Now, the 80-year-old Wazir has found him.But his kingdom is not empty. His cruel uncle now sits on his father's throne. His mother, Queen Rania, is not dead — she has been a prisoner for 10 years in the dark North Tower of her own palace, lighting a lamp every night, waiting for her son.To save her, Zalan must return to Kabul. He must go from a dishwasher to a warrior. From a nobody to a King. He must face betrayal, bloody battles, dark magic of the northern warlords, and the truth about his own bloodline.Will the boy who washed dishes become the King who bathes his sword in his uncle's blood?A dark, brutal, and emotional fantasy of revenge, royalty, and a mother's love. Contains mature violence, intense action, and royal conspiracy.*The Lost Prince of Kabul has returned. And he wants his throne back.*
