Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, Hafsah Faizal's We Hunt the Flame--first in the Sands of Arawiya series--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.

Reviews for We Hunt the Flame

[Hannah Mills · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Did I love this book? Nope. Did I hate it? Nope. Did I care about the characters? Not particularly. It all just fell a bit flat for me. It's never a particularly good sign when you keep checking to see how long is left in the book. There was so much promise for this book but it just didn't deliver sadly.

[Kristen Valenzuela · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great story full of action and intrigue. I loved the strong female characters and their relationships with one another. Lots of plot twists that I didn’t see coming!

[Jacque Morner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very I intriguing! The first half of the books introduces the characters & build the world they live in. Then everything ramps up and the adventure begins. The wait is soooo worth while! I have already downloaded the second book & can hardly wait to listen to it!
