Deeba Zargarpur grew up in Virginia, searching the deep dark woods for a portal to kickstart her grand magical adventure. Her love of magic and jinn stemmed from the cautionary tales passed down through the generations of her Afghan-Uzbek family. Farrah Noorzad and the Ring of Fate is her middle grade debut. She is also the author of House of Yesterday. Follow Deeba on Instagram and Tiktok @deebazargarpur.
