    The author of this book mixed the historical facts and legends of the ancient city of Ardeshir Khore (Gor); And with his powerful imagination, he managed to create a spectacular and rich story. He has depicted the emergence of the Sassanid dynasty and the disappearance of the people of this city during the Mongol period in the form of a pleasant narrative.
