    “Is this what heroes do?”

    Prince Nasir doesn’t know why he’s immune to the magic of the Fasids, a persecuted people hunted by his mother, Queen Alya, and her kingdom. When rumors of a magical vial buried atop a mountain in the hidden city of Al Madina Al-Asifa begin to spread, Nasir knows he has no choice but to find it—and destroy it. The vial holds the key to ending the Fasids’ magic forever, but it also threatens to unravel the fragile peace of the Ein.

    Malek, a street-smart Fasid with a knack for illusions and a past as blurry as his future, never expected to wake up in the hidden city of Al Madina Al-Asifa—let alone alongside a rich, arrogant prince from the Ein. When their paths collide, Malek finds himself drawn into Nasir’s quest, even as he struggles to trust the boy who represents everything his people fear.

    Together, they must confront the Mother of Thunder, a malevolent force whose dark magic threatens to destroy both their worlds. As they dig into their pasts and uncover the kingdom’s hidden lies, Nasir and Malek are forced to confront the truth: the vial is not just a weapon—it’s a choice. To destroy it would mean erasing the Fasids’ magic and their freedom, but to leave it intact could unleash chaos beyond imagination.

    Set against a richly imagined world inspired by Arab mythology and Lebanese culture, THE STORM’S GIFT is a sweeping tale of identity, power, and the choices that define us. With its morally complex characters, high-stakes magic, and a romance that defies boundaries, this debut novel will appeal to fans of The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty and Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston.
