Zara Malik

About

Zara Malik taps her pen against her desk, eyes scanning the latest market trends. She's got a knack for spotting patterns, but her real talent lies in the stacks of vintage books she keeps hidden under her desk, each one a portal to another world.

Backstory

Nobody believed Zara Malik when she claimed her grandmother's antique books could predict stock market crashes—until her "literary intuition" helped her marketing firm avoid three major financial disasters in a single quarter. The gift manifested during that fateful summer in Meadowgrove, where she'd chosen dusty library shelves over beach parties, discovering that the same narrative patterns threading through Victorian novels also pulsed beneath consumer behavior and market volatility. Her mentor Victoria watched in fascination as Zara would trace her finger along passages from a rare first edition of 'Pride and Prejudice,' then emerge with insights that transformed entire advertising campaigns. Three years later, Zara still keeps her collection of humming, leather-bound oracles hidden beneath her office desk, their whispered secrets guiding her through spreadsheets and quarterly reports with uncanny precision.
