Product Details

About the Book

We Hunt the Flame is the instant New York Times bestselling debut novel by Hafsah Faizal, the first book in the young adult fantasy duology Sands of Arawiya. Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, the novel won the 2020 Ignyte Award for Best Novel and quickly became a defining title in Middle Eastern-inspired YA fantasy, praised for its lyrical prose, vivid worldbuilding, and deeply layered characters.

The story follows Zafira, known throughout her land as the Hunter, who disguises herself as a man in order to brave the cursed forest of the Arz and feed her starving people. If her true identity were ever discovered, every one of her achievements would be stripped away and rejected. Her counterpart is Nasir, the Prince of Death, forced to assassinate anyone who dares defy his autocratic father, the sultan, and just as trapped by his own role: were he to show mercy, his father would punish him mercilessly for it. Both Zafira and Nasir are already legends in the kingdom of Arawiya, yet neither one wants to be. As war brews and the cursed Arz creeps ever closer, swallowing the land in shadow, Zafira sets out on a dangerous quest to recover a lost artifact capable of restoring magic to her dying world, while Nasir is dispatched by the sultan on a parallel mission: retrieve that same artifact, and kill the Hunter who seeks it. As their paths inevitably collide, an ancient evil begins to stir, one that threatens to be far more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.
