Sooo, WE HUNT THE FLAME wasn’t nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards, but neither were a number of amazing YA SFF by marginalized women.

But! The good news is, you can cast write-in votes UNTIL SUNDAY!

And if you’d be so inclined to vote for WE HUNT THE FLAME in the YA Fantasy and Science Fiction category, I would so, so appreciate it <33

✴ make me choose edits: Laure // @goldentailedmermaids asked » Altair Al-Badawi or Nasir Ghameq They were right to hate him, for Nasir had killed more than he could count. It used to matter, before. Now it was nothing more than a swipe of his sword. Another felled soul. To the people, he was not Nasir Ghameq, crown prince of Arawiya, no. He was the purger of life. The Prince of Death.

This is so beautiful, and the aesthetic is so Nasir!

hi hello, it’s been a minute. so during my hiatus i somehow reached 19k and i figured we better celebrate this moment. so @wesper had this genius idea to let her followers vote for their top five character & books/series etc and later make an edit for the winners. so i have shamelessly stolen that idea. naturally. but seriously guys, thank y’all for 19k!  

i’ll also pick five blogs that have liked & reblogged this post to give a promo, compliment and a +follow  (ง ื▿ ื)ว

hello! i’ve been kinda distant from this blog for the past few weeks and i’m so sorry about that. and even tho i was distant, you guys didn’t leave me (thank you so much!). and i did realize that a lot of people still appreciate my edits and supports my blog.

i can’t thank you guys enough for still being here and being such amazing followers/friends. so to actually be more active in here and to make something to celebrate this comeback, i am gonna do an “appreciation event”! 

so i decided to go with “guess my top 10 favorite literature characters”! the first person to guess a certain character correctly gets an edit about the literature character of their choice (the character needs to be from one of my fandoms).

Thanks to this gorgeous character art by Arz28, you can meet the Zumra of WE HUNT THE FLAME (my YA fantasy out 5/14)! Zumra, in Arabic, means squad or gang, which in this case refers to my terrible children who reluctantly forge an alliance.

If you love the art as much as I do, you can submit your WE HUNT THE FLAME pre-order receipt to receive a limited edition character card set! More info here!

From top to bottom: 

Zafira Iskandar, protagonist of WE HUNT THE FLAME. She never misses, is a bit too innocent (Altair’s jokes never make sense for some reason?), and feels everything fiercely.

Then our Prince of Death and resident assassin, Nasir Ghameq! Sad, grumpy, hates himself, is sometimes sassy, and secretly loves every single one of Altair’s quips (and also Zafira, but shh).

He’s not sure why he isn’t listed first, but then we have Altair al-Badawi! The sultan’s prized general who is good at everything. Can be sported flirting with anything that moves, drinking qahwa, slicing away with his twin scimitars, or needling Nasir like it’s his sole purpose in life.

Next up, Kifah Darwish, a girl with a thirst for revenge who prefers the power of a blade over the might of the pen. This food lover and elite warrior can usually be seen keeping Altair in his place and making sure no one gets… too optimistic.

Benyamin Haadi! Vain and silver-tongued, this immortal safi (Arawiya’s equivalent of elves) fights with banes and poisons as he tries to make up for a secret in his past. Part of an elite circle of safin, he values trust and truth, hence the word “haqq” tattooed around his eye.

She goes on. “You think I’m weak.”

“You are weak,” I tell her. “You’re weak and pathetic and I –”

“I’m a mirror,” she shouts. “I’m the mirror you don’t want to look at.”

If I told you my name, would you bow?” His voice was soft. A melancholy caress. He lifted his chin when understanding dawned on her face. “Or would you flee?
