WE HUNT THE FLAME by: Hafsah Faizal

We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal (2019) is the gripping first installment of the Sands of Arawiya duology—a fantasy epic set in a richly imagined Arabia-inspired world. We Hunt the Flame is a striking debut that shines through its vibrant world-building, emotional guts, and compelling protagonists—though it demands patience as it builds toward its payoff. If you appreciate immersive epics with a unique cultural lens and layered character arcs, this duology's opening is well worth the journey.
