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.
Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people come together in bestselling author Tahereh Mafi's trilogy opener inspired by Persian mythology. An epic plot, rich worldbuilding, and breathless romance make this perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir.
"Alizeh agonizes over her own feelings for the prince and the implications of the prophecy while she navigates between those who see her as an enemy and those who wish to use her. Richly textured, descriptive prose coupled with agonizing romance combine in this fantastical epic. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful.
