Nazima Pathan was born in India and raised in London, moving later to Cambridge where she lives with her husband and two children. She is a children’s doctor and researcher, but has always enjoyed reading and writing stories. (After all, science—when conveyed well—is a tale of the why’s, the how’s and therefore’s.) But children’s stories are special, important and fun, and after learning the craft of writing fiction, Nazima found a home in creating magical stories for curious children who believe in the right to dream.
Dream Hunters is her debut novel; its much-anticipated sequel, The Night Curse, will be released in July 2025.
