All This Twisted Glory

In All This Twisted Glory, the compelling third instalment of the This Woven Kingdom series by Tahereh Mafi, readers are once again transported to a world brimming with Persian-inspired mythology, lush landscapes, and intricate political intrigue.

As the long-lost heir to the Jinn throne, Alizeh has finally discovered her lineage and the people who have been anticipating her return. With the potential crown within her grasp and a kingdom to reclaim, she's faced with a perilous choice. Cyrus, the enigmatic and often feared ruler of Tulan, proposes a dangerous deal: marriage in exchange for his kingdom. However, this twisted bargain is shadowed by a fatal caveat—it must culminate in his death. Alizeh is torn, as accepting this offer could be her only hope to rescue her people and realise her destiny, but Cyrus’s notorious blood-soaked history makes trust nearly impossible.

Despite his dark reputation, Cyrus carries his own burdens. Secrets plague him, and having been tormented by visions of Alizeh for months, he finds himself struggling with the revelation that these dreams were planted by malevolent forces. The tension between duty and desire ensnares them both. Though they endeavour to hate each other, their mutual yearning becomes an unrelenting force that threatens to consume them entirely.

Meanwhile, the narrative intensifies with the arrival of Prince Kamran in Tulan, bent on retaliation. His presence exacerbates the fragile balance of power and stakes within this already volatile landscape. With multifaceted characters and layered storytelling, the plot weaves together themes of love, duty, and the complexities of human (and inhuman) nature.

Enriched with exquisite tension, heart-racing romance, and breathtaking twists, All This Twisted Glory continues the intricate and gripping tale that fans of This Woven Kingdom series have come to adore. This explosive narrative ensures a captivating read, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next conquest in Alizeh and Cyrus’s turbulent journey.

The masterful blend of myth, emotion, and political intrigue makes All This Twisted Glory not just a story, but an immersive experience that will resonate with readers long after they turn the last page.
