Sara Hashem is best known to readers for the chart-topping The Scorched Throne romantasy series, an Egyptian-inspired duology comprising The Jasad Heir (2023) and The Jasad Crown (2025). The Jasad Heir is set a decade after a devastating war between the militaristic nation of Nizahl and Jasad, a kingdom of magic and prosperity obliterated by the Nizahli after a treacherous betrayal. Sylvia, fugitive queen of the lost realm, lives in hiding – until a chance encounter forces her to reveal her survival to Arin, the Nizahl heir apparent. Paste Magazine praised the book as “A summer fantasy banger… A compelling fantasy saga that’s one part political treatise, one part slow-burn ‘enemies-to-lovers’ romance, and one part survival competition.” It charted high on both the USA Today and Sunday Times bestseller lists. Hashem’s latest, Where No Shadow Stays, is her first foray into young adult fiction. After a visit to her family’s ancestral mansion in El Agamy, Egypt, high schooler Mina returns to her California home with an unwelcome souvenir: a sinister entity bent on claiming a generational blood debt.
