The Ashfire King
The Ashfire King continues the tale of myth and magic that began with The Stardust Thief, Chelsea Abdullah's unmissable debut.
Neither here nor there, but long ago . . .
After fleeing a patricidal prince, legendary merchant Loulie al-Nazari and banished prince Mazen bin Malik find themselves in the realm of jinn with the mercurial jinn of the lamp. But instead of sanctuary, they find a world on the cusp of collapse. The jinn cities, long sheltered beneath the Sandsea by the magic of its kings, are sinking.
As Loulie and Mazen work to uncover the interworld conspiracies threatening both kingdoms, they quickly realize time is not their only concern. When Loulie saves the life of a dissenter, she puts herself in the centre of a centuries-old war. Trapped in a world that isn't her own and wielding magic that belongs to a fallen king, Loulie must decide: Will she carry on someone else's legacy, or carve her own?
