In fact, Faizal intentionally wanted to make readers salivate upon reading the delectable dishes featured in her story. Along with their companions and unexpected allies, Zafira and Nasir must work together or risk bringing death upon their people and/or themselves.įaizal spends the beginning of We Hunt the Flame building her world in extreme detail – from the clothing to the customs to the food. If he fails, unimaginable punishment awaits him.
Nasir, however, has been ordered by his evil father to follow the Hunter on his journey, retrieve the artifact, and leave no one alive. Zafira is extremely terrified but believes she is the only choice to save her land and her people. Everyone else either gets lost, dies, or comes back mentally unstable and dangerous – with Zafira's own father being an example. Zafira is the best choice for this quest because she is the only one who has entered the Arz and returned alive and well (not to mention on a regular basis). In order to restore magic to her people and ensure their survival, Zafira is called upon by the Silver Witch to find and uncover the Jawarat. On top of that, the Arz slowly consumes the kingdom of Arawiya in cold shadows, killing every semblance of life in its wake. War is brewing, people are starving, and women face horrible inequality in hafsah faizal's debut novel.
Both characters come from extremely different backgrounds and reluctantly play their roles in We Hunt the Flame, eventually joining forces on a journey on which neither wants to embark – uncover a lost artifact that can bring magic back to their world. Nasir, on the other hand, is an assassin known as the Prince of Death and also happens to be the Sultan' s son. In a world inspired by ancient Arabia, Zafira is a skilled Hunter who disguises herself as a man in order to track down animals in the cursed forest of the Arz, hunting and killing them in order to feed her people.
