ⓘ About Saara El-Arifi

Unfortunately, the spark went off on the day she witnessed her family getting killed in front of her. However, her flame of hope may be rekindled since she wasn’t born to sparkle but to burn bright. Now it’s up to her to either rule the empire or destroy it. Anoor has always been told how she’s no one but rather a disappointment by the only person who mattered to her: her mother, an influential leader (Warden of Strength) in the empire. However, when Sylah and Anoor cross paths, the heat between them could also affect the entire kingdom and their hearts. Hassa explores her world unnoticed by upper cases, so he’s aware of what it means for one to be invisible.
