Bustenai is the story of the last remaining Prince of the House of David , and his thrilling challenges and adventures in 7th century Persia.
After the Persian King , Khuzroi , sets out to destroy all members of the Jewish royal house , only a young infant escapes destruction.
A strange dream persuades Khuzroi to abandon his plans against the Jews , and he adopts the infant Bustenai.
Bustenai becomes an important Prince of Israel and helps to save the Jewish people.
Much Torah wisdom included in these stories such as when Bustenai tells Princess Dara that the Torah teaches us that " Fathers should not die for the sins of their children neither should the children die for the sins commited by the fathers. Each must be responsible for his own actions and misdeeds"
