Publisher's Synopsis
FIRE AND MUD
The game on earth is based on the struggle between fire and mud. The rules of the game are communicated to them before they come to earth. A firm promise is taken from them to comply with the rules.
In the game, fire cannot digest the role given to mud. Regardless of being a player, it opposes the role given to mud, insists that it is right, and tries to prove it. Using the charm and attractiveness of its role, it drags many from both its own race and the mud race behind it. The door of evil opens, and thus the trial of mud with fire begins.
Davut, who serves as an examination judge in the Council of State, is driven to investigate the source of evil by his professional meticulousness, knowledge, and experience. Unexpectedly, the events in the country drag him to prison. The self-discipline lessons he received from the theology professor he met in the ward open the door he is looking for. He goes to the period when Adam and Eve were in heaven in the Yakaza realm. He arrives next to the jinn race living on earth. He witnesses the struggle between the Patiristan dynasty Tubba Patir and his sons, who accepted the prostration order to humans, and King Hannas of Katiristan, who obeyed Satan.
Davut falls in love with Itir, the granddaughter of Tubba Patir. Both are caught in impossible love to experience the unexperienced. Mud burns in fire. Fire calms down in mud. While one is ready, fearless, and eager to burn in fire, the other is self-sacrificing, altruistic, and meticulous enough to sacrifice himself not to hurt him. The fire burning in their hearts does not let their minds obey.
