“Sara Hashem's debut novel about a queen in hiding hits all the right notes. Sylvia has been in hiding for ten years since her whole family was killed, destroying the royal line of the only magic users left. Now she's in hiding, presumed dead. But when the heir to the kingdom comes to her village, he's immediately suspicious of her. Soon Sylvia finds herself in a competition she never wanted to enter, betraying her kinsmen. ”
— Jennifer • Bookmiser
"A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the heart."―Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief
A fugitive queen strikes a bargain with her greatest enemy that could resurrect her scorched kingdom or leave it in ashes forever in this unmissable Egyptian-inspired epic fantasy debut.
Ten years ago, the kingdom of Jasad burned. Its magic was outlawed. Its royal family murdered. At least, that’s what Sylvia wants people to believe. The Heir of Jasad escaped the massacre, and she intends to stay hidden, especially from the armies of Nizahl that continue to hunt her people.
But a moment of anger changes everything. When Arin, the Nizahl Heir, tracks a group of Jasadi rebels to her village, Sylvia accidentally reveals her magic—and captures his attention. Now Sylvia’s forced to make a deal with her greatest enemy: Help him hunt the rebels in exchange for her life.
A deadly game begins. Sylvia can’t let Arin discover her identity, even as hatred shifts into something more between the Heirs. And as the tides change around her, Sylvia will have to choose between the life she wants and the one she abandoned.
The scorched kingdom is rising, and it needs a queen.
Praise for The Jasad Heir:
"Will have you turning pages in a frenzy." ―Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
"The type of mythological and romantic tale you would bargain your last breath for... A book that coils you into its serpentine grasp." ―Observer
The Scorched Throne
