This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi
TikTok sensation author Tahereh Mafi’s first novel in this brand new epic, romantic fantasy series. *A No.1 Sunday Times bestseller* ‘Exquisitely crafted’ – CASSANDRA CLARE ‘Mafi's diamond-bright lyrical voice weaves a tale that is gilded in magic’ – ROSHANI CHOKSHI ‘An exquisite fantasy’ – STEPHANIE GARBER 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.

"This story is so magical and transportive that I fully expected the book would know the moment I'd finished — within hours, no less — and promptly unravel into a pile of jewels and silks in my hands. Mafi's diamond-bright lyrical voice weaves a tale that is gilded in magic, laced with subterfuge, adorned with the brocade of a tortuous romance, and richly embroidered with Persian mythology. I cannot wait for more."—Roshani Chokshi, NYT bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves
