On to the final adventure…💫 Now that ASHFIRE is out in the world, I’ve been focused on Book 3. So far, it’s been a whirlwind of a time but it’s incredibly magical to watch everything come together in the finale. Thanks again to everyone who’s supported my work while the story is still unfolding! 🥰

Finished my listen of The Stardust Thief with PERFECT timing because the sequel comes out NEXT WEEK! 🤩 I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to see what comes next! High praise for the book itself, but even bigger shoutout to the audiobook, which features multiple amazing narrators @chelsabdullah.bsky.social

“Remember, Mazen, there is no such thing as a single truth. There are just the stories we tell others, and the ones we tell ourselves.” Book 2 dedication, Book 2 quote 💙 Only 8 days until THE ASHFIRE KING is out in the world! 🥰

The book’s dedication which reads: “For the storytellers. Never doubt that your words can move hearts.” Dark and light blue vines and leaves are sketched in a box around the words.

27 days until THE ASHFIRE KING is out 🔥 Which means there are only twenty-seven days until you can read these characters picking, stumbling, and rushing unwisely into fights where the odds are stacked against them! SOON!

My sequel, THE ASHFIRE KING, is out in 7 weeks!! ✨ Which means there are only seven weeks until This Guy returns to be a menace on the page. If you’re interested in an Arab-inspired epic fantasy, I like to think now is the perfect time to pick up Book 1 in the series, THE STARDUST THIEF!

A quote from the book is placed on a red background. The text reads: Even now, he wore his smile like a weapon, a dare. “Obstinate until the very end, I see.”

I'm so thrilled to share that FairyLoot will be doing a special edition of my sequel, THE ASHFIRE KING! 💙 I've been fondly calling this "the daylight edition" & truly love the details—the endpaper designs feature 2 of my favorite book scenes! Purchase details are on their blog: shorturl.at/A3Ahx

A graphic featuring FairyLoot's edition of THE ASHFIRE KING. The book has a white background with a lantern that hangs off the letters of the title. Inside the lantern is a bird made of fire. (The fire on this edition is aqua blue). This edition also has blue stenciled edges that feature diamond-like shapes.

The first page of THE ASHFIRE KING 🌺 Some of you may know this already, but the first “tale” in my sequel is a brief recap of the events in Book 1 (as told by our resident storyteller)! ASHFIRE is out April 15, and the first book in the series, THE STARDUST THIEF, is available now! ❤️

The first page of THE ASHFIRE KING, which begins with the header: “The Tale of the Merchant and the Prince.” The open book is sitting on a cloth decorated with various bright flowers, and a small lamp sits on the right-hand corner of the open page.
