In this book, the author takes inspiration from the biblical Books of Kings.

The plot revolves around Prophet Elijah who was born within the northern region of Israel around 9th century BC. At certain juncture, Prophet Elijah has also been referred within the Talmud, Mishnah, the New Testament and therefore the Qur’an.

At the age of 23, Elijah escapes the political turmoil that was happening in Israel, which was against all Prophets of the dominion . First place that Elijah visits during his escape expedition is that the bank of river Cherith and from there he goes to the land of Zarephath or Akbar. There he encounters numerous hurdles as being tagged an outsider but eventually he's accepted by the society.

It's in Akbar that he spends major portion of his life and undergoes the years of transformation. He meets a widow and her son from whom he learns to like , an emotion that afterward gives him strength to cope up with tremendous loss and fanatical forces. it's also said that in Akbar, he prepares favorable conditions for the Messiah’s coming and after fulfilling his destiny in worldly life, he leaves for heaven. As per the scriptures, his task was to revive the worship of Lord in Israel since the king had married a Phoenician princess, Jezebel, whose aim was to determine her pagan god Baal instead.

The book may be a masterpiece written within the most simplistic style and culminating at a strong message that talks about the moving account of a person who passes through numerous frustrations and hurdles that shatters his soul completely yet he wins the trail of religion on the face of it.
