Book One in a Trilogy!

Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology.

To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.

The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author Tahereh Mafi

REVIEW BY BASMA

Initial reaction: That was IMMACULATE.

Oh this was phenomenal. Everything I look for in a fantasy was there (plus MAJOR fairytale vibes), and on top of that, it’s a Persian inspired world with some Islamic influences! Honestly, I’ll go on record and say this was Tahereh’s best writing yet, it was lyrical and rich and full of these BEAUTIFUL lines that I’m definitely writing down in my reading journal.

The two main characters, Alizeh and Kamran were absolute perfection. Alizeh is a force to be reckoned with, without losing her compassion. Kamran is the epitome of a man written by a woman, with a flair for dramatics that had me cracking up. And the dual POV is always *chefs kiss*

I already mentioned the world, but I want to emphasize how well done it is. World building is the number one thing I look for in a fantasy and it’s just so immersive. I’m honestly about to reread. I'm gonna have to reread anyway to write down these quotes.
