It’s (mostly) fine!!!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

And oh thank you 🥹 The German edition is gorgeous!

Good vibes 🤞💫

I keep saying things like "I'm a slow reader" and how it tkes me AGES to finish a book.
And then I get my hands on The Ashfire King by @chelsabdullah.bsky.social and oop, done in two days. 😔
Good thing the story will stay with me forever. 🥰

A compass rests atop a copy of THE ASHFIRE KING with a map from the second book beneath.

On to the final adventure…💫

Now that ASHFIRE is out in the world, I’ve been focused on Book 3. So far, it’s been a whirlwind of a time but it’s incredibly magical to watch everything come together in the finale.

Thanks again to everyone who’s supported my work while the story is still unfolding! 🥰

The book’s dedication which reads: “For the storytellers. Never doubt that your words can move hearts.” Dark and light blue vines and leaves are sketched in a box around the words.

“Remember, Mazen, there is no such thing as a single truth. There are just the stories we tell others, and the ones we tell ourselves.”

Book 2 dedication, Book 2 quote 💙
