This Woven Kingdom

This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi is an immersive epic that intertwines clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a forgotten queen's tale with the rich essence of Persian mythology. The narrative centres around Alizeh, who to the world appears merely as a disposable servant. Unbeknownst to them, she harbours a monumental secret - she is the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, compelled to live inconspicuously as she conceals her true identity.

Meanwhile, the enigmatic crown prince Kamran is haunted by prophecies foretelling the death of his king. His life takes a dramatic turn when his thoughts are persistently monopolised by a servant girl with unusual eyes. Unbeknownst to him, this seemingly unimportant girl is destined to upheave his kingdom and their world as they know it.

“In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.”—Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours

“This story is so magical and transportive that I fully expected the book would know the moment I'd finished – within hours, no less – and promptly unravel into a pile of jewels and silks in my hands. Mafi's diamond-bright lyrical voice weaves a tale that is gilded in magic, laced with subterfuge, adorned with the brocade of a tortuous romance, and richly embroidered with Persian mythology. I cannot wait for more.” – Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves
