nightmare of Delusion: a forbidden love, secret heavier than lead, and the that refuses to stay buried.

Based on a true story, this is a haunting narrative of a "nightmare of forbidden love" and the "tormented conscience" of a son pushed to the absolute edge. Babak is a young man defined by "shadows and silence," a soul who feels "cast from a mold that does not fit this world". Upon returning from two years of mandatory military service to his home in the historic city of Qazvin, he finds his world transformed. His father, a man of iron will who survived the hunger and chaos of the Allied occupation of Iran, has brought a mysterious new woman into their household. She is a "vision of marble and fire," and for Babak, she represents a "forbidden awakening". Caught in a "deadly, awful" attraction to a woman he believes he can never legally have, Babak's life becomes a battlefield of "shame, embarrassment, and a hammering conscience". He is plagued by "macabre nightmares" of public execution and the "phobia of his father's penalty," feeling like a modern-day Siavash-the mythical hero forced to ride through a tunnel of fire to prove his innocence. When a "fatal letter" arrives revealing a secret that could destroy his family's honor, Babak decides there is only one way to silence the "relentless hammer" in his skull. He retreats to the lonely, crystalline shores of Zereshk Lake in the North Mountains, seeking a final escape from a "boring, hollow life". Nightmare of Delusion is a psychological journey into the heart of a "secret heavier than lead". It is a story for "those who have walked the narrow, jagged line between duty and desire" and for anyone searching for a "second birth amidst the ruins of their own choices". At its core, it is a testament to the power of a father's "hidden, merciful trick" that offers a path to redemption when all hope seems lost.
