Hadassah comments on the political feud between the most powerful houses in the Empire (some might argue more powerful than the royals themselves). #writesky #writingcommunity #amediting
Adesina Mahdi, Fadilah’s mother, had spent the better part of her career clashing with their matriarch: Laithah Niazi. Despite their political battles, they were, in some ways, two sides of the same coin. Conviction met conviction. Fire met fire. But it was a respectful rivalry – at least on the surface. Waliyah Laithah Niazi, a dignified provincial governor, had lost her father to war. A Samake warrior, she understood sacrifice – and, perhaps, even empathized with Chancellor Mahdi. The Samake and Zuberi – the house of Fadilah’s maternal grandfather – had once been one house before a bitter split. Their rivalry lived on in both bloodlines – in the Chancellor and the Waliyah. Every time the two most powerful women in our Empire interacted, blood met blood and wits clashed.

"The Empire always claimed peace was their greatest gift.
My father’s blood proved otherwise."

DAUGHTER OF SKY AND SORROW is a myth-drenched epic fantasy about girlhood, grief, and choosing to burn the world that made you.

THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE × VOICE OF WAR

Hadassah Nuri once escaped the Undercity.
Now, she's a scholar of healing.
The heretics call her something else.
Prophet. Symbol. Weapon.

For fans of divine rot, sacred rebellion, and soft hands stained red.

THE POPPY WAR x WITCH KING

Grieving heir Fadilah Mahdi wants nothing more than to mourn. But when her father's will sends her to war, she suspects foul play. Torn between filial duty and truth, Fadilah must ask: what does it mean to serve an empire whose currency is blood?
