About the Book:
In The Witch’s Curse, Rustom unknowingly breaks an ancient vow when he picks up wrestling after defeating Gama Palowan. The pact, made long ago with a fearsome witch, promised the village’s safety in exchange for abandoning all combat. But as Rustom’s wrestling returns, the curse strikes — turning villagers to stone and capturing his grandpa! Can Rustom defeat the witch and break the curse?
at heart, this event promises to be a delightful experience for everyone.
Mark your calendar, and let’s dive into the extraordinary world of Rustom Palowan together!
Across the seven seas I roam,
The thunder’s might is my true home.
Who stands before me, fierce and grand?
To face the giants, take a stand
— With strength of legends, hear my call:
I am Rustom Palowan, standing tall!
