A keen observer of history and techno-science, Rehan Khan, has always been intrigued in how ideas and inventions move from one civilisation to the next, and how they change as they shift across different cultures.

He is the author of a Tomb of Empires (2024) a historical fiction set in 90BC in the Middle East, the Carnegie nominated A Tudor Turk trilogy (2019-2022) set in the Ottoman Empire and Tudor England, and the fantasy sci-fi series, Tales of Khayaal (2025) set on the Earth like planet of Ikleel. These gripping stories also ask readers to consider the role of virtue within the human story

For example the writing process for "Last fo the Tasburai" took four years and the most challenging aspect for me was trying to find authentic character voices.

So it ended up taking me two years to find the voice of each character before I was satisfied with the tone. (less)

Background to the novel

Last of the Tasburai is a tale of power, politics and war. The story follows the legendary Tasburai warriors (think Japanese Samurai mixed with Sufi mystics).

At the heart, it's a story about valor and courage, about trying to do the right thing even when all around you disagree.

The novel is set in the fictional Avantolian peninsula, made up of Republics and Kingdoms. The leaders of these states Read more of this blog post »
