New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller from the acclaimed author of the Shatter Me series! Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her peopleâTahereh Mafiâs first in an epic romantasy series inspired by Persian mythology.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he canât put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdomâand the world.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new romantasy series from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Awardânominated author Tahereh Mafi.
âIn a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizehâs own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.â âCassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours
âThis Woven Kingdom is an exquisite fantasy. Rich with clever prose, delicious twists, and breathtaking world building. Prepare to be destroyedâthis one will wrench at your heart and make it pound, and in the end it will leave you entirely speechless.â âStephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

What reviewers said
PRAISE FOR An Emotion of Great Delight: "Gorgeous and poetic, Mafi is unflinching in her rendering of pain and brutal truths, but also succeeds in weaving a tale that is brimming with heart and honest hope. This is a book I wish I'd had when I was fourteen. I'm so glad young readers will have it now. A truly special story." - Jasmine Warga, New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Other Words for Home
"Tahereh Mafi has written a timely, compelling novel about love and family and the remarkably complex nature of religion and faith. An Emotion of Great Delight is as profound as it is beautiful." - Matt de la Peña, New York Times and Newbery Medal winning author of The Last Stop on Market Street
PRAISE FOR A Very Large Expanse of Sea: âA raw yet astoundingly elegant examination of identity, loneliness and family that is unflinching in its honesty and power. Tahereh Mafi holds nothing backâand the reader is better for it.â - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Ember in the Ashes series
âA Very Large Expanse of Sea reads like a beautiful heartâone that shines and aches and yearns, and above all else, one that loves fiercely against all odds. Years from now, you will remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you experienced this. A transcendent story about truth, love, and finding joy.â
âThis is a gorgeous book. Itâs tender and fierce, beautiful even as it depicts some ugly truths. Taherehâs prose is passionate and honest, unsentimental and big-hearted. The very best books move you to reconsider the world around you, and this is one of those. I truly loved it.â - Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star
âTahereh Mafi, known for her fantasy and dystopian novels, proves a master of the contemporary realistic novel, as well, with A Very Large Expanse of Sea, longlisted for a National Book Award. Shirinâs first-person voice bristles with anger, wit and pain. Even as the fraught love story drives the short chapters to a surprising close, Mafi weaves in moments of camaraderie and joy.â
