The Story
House of Fatjma is the tale of Fatima, a young fashion designer from London who finds herself locked in an Essex mental hospital. Her world spirals into darkness as she battles doctors, medication, and her own mind. But everything changes when she unlocks the helaing power of a magic carpet—an ancient artifact with deep ties to her Persian heritage. As she explores the carpet’s powers, Fatima embarks on a journey of healing and liberation, both for herself and her fellow patients.
