What to expect

Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a breathtaking story of magic, conquering fear and taking identity into your own hands. From Hafsah Faizal, the number one bestselling author of A Tempest of Tea.

There was nothing more respectable and dangerous than a woman of confidence.

Zafira is the Hunter. Forced to disguise herself as a man, she risks everything to provide for her people.

Nasir is the Prince of Death. A feared assassin who is forever bound to the command of his father, the sultan.

Both are legends in their kingdom – but neither wants to be. And when Zafira embarks on a dangerous quest to return magic to their suffering land, Nasir is sent on a similar mission. But as their journey unfolds, an ancient evil begins to stir . . .

Don't miss the epic sequel and conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology, We Free The Stars.

The bestselling TikTok sensation! Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series.

This edition features an exclusive bonus chapter.

Critics Review

Could be the next Game of Thrones

Bustle

Delivers on all fronts. This book carries social importance—bringing magic and curiosity and complexity to the Arab world is still hardly done in Western pop culture—but beyond that, We Hunt the Flame is just an exciting, surprising read

Entertainment Weekly

Faizal bends fantasy tropes to her will to tell a fresh and gripping story about love, honor, and self-discovery that will leave readers scrambling for more.

Hafsah Faizal creates a dazzling and beautiful world that will make you not want to put this book down

Hafsah Faizal’s writing is so lush and evocative . . . gripping right from the first page

A sparkling debut, full of mystery and magic, vivid characters, and rich language

Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author

Beautiful storytelling, mesmerizing settings, and fiery characters—We Hunt the Flame is danger, magic, and hope all wrapped into one, and it is intoxicating

Evelyn Skye, New York Times-bestselling author of the Crown's Game series

Enter the cursed world of Arawiya, and meet the girl who defies that curse

Hypable

Though certainly a love story, We Hunt the Flame is also a moving portrait of a heroine growing into her power as Zafira fights against the oppression of women.
