In the early 860s, Zahra had obtained a mysterious book of an unknown language.

Zahra later arrived back at her estate, surrounded by her Turkic guards and servants. While relieving herself, she upright dismissed her superior's obsession with the disk while stating her desire to become Head of the Order after having the book translated. However, around this time, she was being hunted by the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq, who waited for her return at her estate, whereupon she was promptly assassinated by him.[1]
