Born in a nomadic desert tribe, the young Nazir is suddenly thrown into an alternative world by the evil witch, Haroda. Zoltan, the greatest of the gods, anoints Nazir as the White Fire to be his instrument to defeat the evil witch and rescue Zoltan's favorite daughter, Amira, the goddess of the universe and protector of the earth.
A magician, Gaius Fortus, who is also confined to this malevolent place, is appointed by Zoltan to teach Nazir the ways of a warrior if he is going to confront Haroda. The magician gives Nazir an unusual-looking staff that has a snake's head carved on the end. He soon learns that the staff is more than a walking stick; it is a direct line to Zoltan. Gaius tells Nazir that he only needs to utter the words Al haber, al asham (translated: I command you to serve), and it will respond to his every command. The practice sessions are awkward and hilariously funny as Nazir learns to use the snakehead staff.
Armed only with this snakehead staff, Nazir sets out to confront and defeat the evil witch. Along the way, he confronts the many evil spirits and creatures summoned by Haroda in a vain attempt to defeat Nazir.
He realizes that he cannot defeat the Haroda without the help of a young woman, Jamila, the only daughter of a desert chief and the only person to have ever escaped from the Galthoram. In a final epic battle, Nazir and Jamil confront the witch.
