Description

Dr. Widad Akreyi, winner of multiple awards from the USA and Europe, presents this full-length, page-turning biography of a Kurdish hero in a new series, Kurdland’s Royals.

Born Prince Pad, a nobleman from a privileged Kurdish royal family, King Pad hailed from central-south Kurdland. Intelligent and with a distinctive brilliance, his mind both intrigued and alarmed those around him.

The young, chivalrous, battle-hardened knight liberated his kingdom from religious extremism. His military might, political prowess, and legendary bravery restored justice to his people, saving them and all minorities. Remarkable honour shone through in the trials he faced during his early adulthood and the tribulations of his kingship. As a king, he was prepared to die for his beliefs and the reputation of his kingdom.

His was a life distinguished by rectitude of character and extraordinary actions. One of the most prominent figures of ancient Kurdland, Pad was renowned for his political acumen, stoicism, and unwavering dedication to duty, all qualities that solidified his status as a Warrior King. His bold spirit captured the hearts and minds of his entire nation.

Riveting to read and soul-bearingly honest, the first-ever biography of King Pad paints a clear and colourful portrait of a leader who, at the vanguard of his knights' charge, led them into battles to save humanity. Pad The Grand is storytelling at its best. A fascinating fusion of facts and ideological tenets that dismantle domination in all its nuances, celebrating life at all costs.
