Arab-American Author of Epic and Historical Fantasy | The Slave Soldier Series | Manzakar and Freed Kingfisher out now https://linktr.ee/fictionchick
I’ve often stressed that Manzakar (and the Slave-Soldier Series) is not a romance. That’s true, but the romantic subplots are (in my humble opinion 😂) totally worth it. These two have my heart. 🏹 🩷💜💙 Amazing artwork by @magemance.bsky.social #epicfantasyseries #manzakar #bisexualrep #lgbtq

Inspiration for Manzakar came from a blend of Middle Eastern and Central Asian culture and history, but also A LOT is drawn from video games… #dragonage #princeofpersia #bookstagrams #epicfantasy #fantasyreads #fantasynovels #queerfantasybooks #LGBTQ #BIPOC

Brown queer people overthrow a fascist ruler and stop a genocide.

I can honestly say, these books I read as a kid shaped who I am. What books impacted a young you when you were growing up? #favoritebooks #booklovers #bookworm #2025reads #readers

Admittedly, my tastes are VERY broad. But there are just a few books that made a lasting impact on me. Have you read these?? #favoritebooks #booklovers #bookworm #2025reads

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day 1.
