The Jasad Crown

By: Sara Hashem

Narrated by: Rasha Zamamiri, Lukas Arnold, Ali Nasser, Victoria Nassif

In the thrilling conclusion to the Egyptian-inspired Scorched Throne duology, a fugitive queen must risk everything and everyone she loves for the chance to restore her lost kingdom of Jasad.

Held deep in a mountain refuge, Sylvia has been captured by the Urabi, who believe the Jasad Heir can return their homeland to its former power. But after years of denying her legacy and a forbidden alliance with Jasad’s greatest enemy, Sylvia must win the Urabi’s trust while struggling to hide the dangerous side effects her magic is having on her mind.

In a rival kingdom, Arin must maneuver carefully between his father's desire to put down the brewing rebellion and the sacred edicts Arin is sworn to uphold. He is determined to find Sylvia before it's too late, but Arin's search unravels secrets that threaten the very core of his beliefs about his family and the destruction of Jasad.

War is inevitable, but Sylvia cannot abandon her people again. The Urabi plan to raise the Jasadi fortress, and it will either kill Sylvia or destroy the humanity she's fought so hard to protect. For the first time in her life Sylvia doesn’t just want to survive. She wants to win.

The fugitive queen is ready to reign.

“A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the heart. Steeped in intrigue, tension, and dangerous magic, The Jasad Heir is a thrilling read that held me captive past its heart-pounding ending.” —Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief

“The Jasad Heir takes familiar fantasy plot elements—a destroyed kingdom; a hidden heir to the lost throne—and gives them a thrilling extra layer of political complexity. The slow burn between protagonist and antagonist will have you turning pages in a frenzy. Sara Hashem is a talent to watch!” —Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun

"A stunning fantasy debut that deftly examines the burdens of political responsibility. With a morally complex heroine and an incomparable enemies-to-lovers arc, The Jasad Heir is a compelling tale of self-discovery, found family, and the meaning of justice." —Hadeer Elsbai, author of The Daughters of Izdihar

"Hashem weaves a complex tapestry of magic, danger, and violence set against some vividly atmospheric worldbuilding in her mesmerizing debut." —Publishers Weekly

"Beautifully creates a story of intrigue and high stakes ... Hashem’s debut is enemies-to-possible lovers that fantasy romance readers will eat up." —Buzzfeed News

Such an engaging tale, I felt transported to another world in minds eye! The characters were lovely the fact that you can both love and hate them at moments!

Addicting story!

I love this series! The story was a refreshing change to the normal fae fantasy books and the level of detail in describing everything from the people and places, to the foods and gods is fantastic!! I’m so sad I finished these books because it was my addiction the last little while. I couldn’t put the books down or stop listening to the audio book. I wish I could read it again for the first time! Highly recommend!!!

Voices matched the characters so well.

I loved that it was a duolology and we weren't strung along through a second book. Pacing was great it book one. Book two lagged a little in the middle, but really picked up at the end. Well done!
