“Heir is a tour de force of fantasy that will leave readers breathless and boneless and aching for more.” – Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon A Broken Heart.
Prepare for the action-packed, ruthless, and romantic new fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling and National Book Award winning author Sabaa Tahir about love, legacy, and vengeance.
An orphan. An outcast. A prince. And a killer who will bring an empire to its knees.
Growing up in the Kegari slums, Aiz has seen her share of suffering. An old tragedy fuels her need for vengeance, but it is love of her people that propels her. Until one hot-headed mistake lands her in an inescapable prison, where the embers of her wrath ignite.
Banished from her tribe for an unforgivable crime, Sirsha is a down-on-her-luck tracker who speaks to the earth, air, and water to trace her marks. Destitute, she agrees to hunt down a killer who has murdered children across the Empire. All she has to do is carry out the job and get paid. But then, she falls for a charismatic and inconvenient fugitive who keeps getting in her way.
Quil is the crown prince of the Empire, nephew of a famed and venerated empress, but he’s loathe to pick up the mantle when his aunt steps down. As the son of the most hated emperor in the history of his people, he, better than anyone, understands that power corrupts. When a vicious new enemy threatens the survival of the Empire, Quil must ask himself if he can rise above his tragic lineage and be the heir his people need.
Beloved storyteller Sabaa Tahir masterfully interweaves the lives of three young people as they grapple with the burdens of power, the treachery of love, and the devastating consequences of unchecked greed. Get ready for a dark and breathless journey that will captivate readers and that may cost these young people their lives—and their hearts. Literally.

There is no easier way to stress me out than to ask me what my favorite book is. To me my "favorites" are a highly subjective and constantly rotating list based on my current mood and frame of mind...

November was definitely a slower month. I didn't read nearly as much as I usually do, but I'm totally okay with that, because almost all of the books I did read were complete banger.

Revealing my favorite book of the year
Watch for a minute and a half of me gushing over my book of the year. The way this book came into my life and immediately bested all other books I’ve read this year without so much of a fight. I’m over here like 🫠 and immediately jumping into An Ember in the Ashes series. Don’t you dare jump into the comments and yell at me for reading this first. I’m content with my life and my decisions and will not be taking any criticism. #yafantasy #fantasybookseries #fantasybookstagram #fantasybookrecs #bookrecommendation #bookvlogger
