The fact that Zafira always finds her way home makes her persona as a Hunter a legend within the land. No one except Zafira has ever entered the Azr and come back.

Zafira is a hunter who protects her village from starvation by hunting in the Azr, located in the village forest, enshrouded in darkness and comprised of sentient magic. The story begins in Zafira’s small village, which now exists in permanent winter as her land continues to spiral towards darkness after the disappearance of magic many years ago. Therefore, this book might not cater to the reader who doesn’t enjoy a slower starting plot and the self-reflection rampant in this novel. Therefore, the main point of We Hunt the Flame is to confront the self-identity of each main character (hunter versus huntress survivor versus Prince of Death) and how themes of morality, love, truth and honour play a role in how they self-identify. This book possesses a broad thematic foundation, which requires each main character’s introspection (the heroine, Zafira and the hero, Nasir) for the reader to completely feel the impact of the novel. Simplistic beauty in a story is derived from a novel that is focused on character development and introspection.

The story We Hunt the Flame reminds me of a cold, dark forest: simplistic in its beauty and much more than it seems.

Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking identity into your own hands. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds-and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the king on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways.īoth are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya-but neither wants to be. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the king. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people.
