Magic is a big part of this world, as Zafira acts as a compass in the desert as she is the only person who can locate the artifact they’re all looking for. I loved seeing the desert setting brought to life, complete with mirages, sandstorms, and ancient creatures of legend including ifrits, magi and safi. We Hunt the Flame is written incredibly beautifully, showing us a visual smorgasburg of the Arawiyan landscape. We hunt the flame, the light in the darkness, the good this world deserves…You remind me that hope is not lost. We know that Nasir and Altair have been sent there by the Sultan, and what results are secrets to be discovered, lots of sarcastic banter, and a slow-burning romance between two unlikely companions. Through her adventures, she encounters ancient creatures of the desert and the unexpected companions of Nasir and Altair, who decide to accompany her on her quest.

Zafira is sent on a mission by a Silver Witch to recover the lost Jawarat.

Written by an #ownvoices author, it was everything I wanted out of a story set in Arabia.įollowing the Huntress Zafira, and the prince Nasir, we discover two legendary characters with the weight of the shoulders heaped upon them. Set against the staggering desert landscape of Ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a story about a dark Prince and a Huntress dressed as a man uncovering a legendary artifact to release magic into their world. Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking identity into your own hands. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds-and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. 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 king on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. 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.īoth are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya-but neither wants to be. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the king. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. People lived because she killed.People died because he lived.
