'This is a story about two magicians - great and powerful sorcerers, sorcerers with the power to defy the will of God....'

Commissioned by the Mughal court for the entertainment of emperor Akbar the Tilism-e-hoshruba or “The Land of the Enchanted Senses” are stories about a land created by sorcery and ruled by sorcerers where anything is possible and everything is fair!

With her own special brand of enchantment Seema weaves the stories into tales of magic, mayhem and seduction.
