An twist of fate compels Zafira and Nasir to build a little more than acquaintanceship, and together they face an ancient, sinister, evil, intertwined in their past and present. ![]() Nazir, on the other hand, is ordered by the sultan to kill the Hunter and retrieve the artifact. Zafira is set on a mission to restore magic to their land and save her people from their nearing doom by retrieving a lost artifact. Near the start of the book, it's pretty predictable that Zafira and Nazir will end with feelings for each other. It's a refreshing change from the typical American teen romance book, and unique in the way it's written. Nazir is the son and assassin of the tyrant king. In her debut novel, Faizal creates and an enchanting ancient Arabian world, in which Zafira, a seventeen-year-old girl, disguises herself a man to venture into the mysterious forest of Arz to feed her people, thus adopting the name the 'Hunter'. I'm neither, so I didn't go into it expecting to be particularly hooked by it. Boy, was I wrong. ![]() ![]() If you're a fantasy or romance fan, this book ticks all the boxes. I first picked up this book because 1) the author's name, 2) the pretty cover, and 3) I've recently been looking for books written by modern Muslim writers. ![]()
