The Gilded Wolves

Author: Tahereh Mafi

"The plot of this novel, which forms the first part of a fantasy series, revolves around an impossible love story, inspired by the world of Persian myths, and set in a lavish, enchanting world where demons whisper ominous prophecies and princes fall in love with jinn girls with icy eyes. Desperate lovers, whose love has not been blessed by the world and stood in the way of their passion, will undoubtedly find in the tales of these lovers an expression of their pain. As Tahereh Mafi takes readers on a journey with Alizeh and Kamran and their love, she opens their eyes to a magical and amazing world. Mafi builds her story slowly, with each revelation smoothly and naturally leading to the next, and each event seamlessly transitioning to the other, with each chapter ending in a very convincing and satisfying conclusion. And if you can't wait to pay another visit to this magical and amazing kingdom, returning to the first page again and repeating your first visit is an excellent option." - From a New York Times review Alizeh is, in the eyes of the whole world, just a lowly servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient jinn kingdom, and she was forced to hide her identity. Crown Prince Kamran heard the prophecies of the king's death, but he never imagined that the servant girl he couldn't stop thinking about would one day undermine the foundations of his kingdom and the entire world. It is a story of warring empires, an impossible love story, and a long-forgotten queen, a queen who must carve her way through the darkness to reclaim her throne, rebuild her kingdom, and save her people from the life of misery and deprivation they were destined to live.
