Heir

"Failed assassination attempts. The search for a lost religious figure and an elusive killer devouring hearts. A two-bed twist on the one-bed trope. This book is a puzzle of perspectives, timelines and plot twists that will leave you absolutely gobsmacked when everything finally falls into place. Set in the same world as Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes series, Heir brings readers the Empire’s next generation of leaders and the obstacles they face. A journey of magic and manipulation, this book is full of complex characters who constantly remind us that heroes and villains are made, not born. At the end of it all, Sabaa Tahir leaves us with a strange feeling of connection to the killer – hungry for more."
