"Lyrical and spellbinding" —Marieke Njikamp, #1
New York Times Bestselling Author

Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, Hafsah Faizal's We Hunt the Flame—first in the Sands of Arawiya duology—is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking identity into your own hands.

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived.

Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya—but neither wants to be.

War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds—and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine.

Slightly Smiling Face“this was just meh for me. it was good, it kept me interested but it was just meh. i was seriously disappointed considering this was SO popular like 3 years ago. i liked the diverse representation and the strong feminine energy, but otherwise it just fell a little flat for me 💌”
Slightly Smiling Face“Really enjoyed the story, and the world felt very fleshed out. I liked how the little gang of characters grew to like each other and overcame their biases about each other. The chapter length did start to pmo after a while. There’s an average of 4 pages per chapter and it made the book feel SO long. Maybe I’m petty, but it would have been 4 stars if the chapters were a normal length 😶”
“Boring, but I don’t regret reading it. If i didn’t have the second book, I don’t think i would have finished the duology..”
