Perfect for you if...

You love lush, detailed worldbuilding rooted in non-Western mythology and want fantasy that feels genuinely fresh.
You're drawn to complex female relationships that blur the line between alliance and something deeper.
You want political intrigue with real stakes, where revolution costs something and victory isn't guaranteed.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots; this is a character study first, with worldbuilding and politics woven through at a deliberate pace.
You need straightforward good versus evil; the morality here is messy and the 'good' characters make brutal choices.
You're looking for romance as the primary plot; the sapphic element is central but this is epic fantasy, not a love story.

About this book

The Jasmine Throne is the first book in The Burning Kingdoms series. It won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and was named one of the best books of 2021 by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, and the New York Public Library. Princess Malini has been exiled by her despotic brother and imprisoned in the Hirana, an ancient cliffside temple that once provided magical deathless waters but now stands in decay. She spends her time dreaming of vengeance. Priya works as a servant in the regent's household, cleaning Malini's chambers while hiding the secrets of her past and her connection to the Hirana. When Malini discovers Priya's true nature, their fates become intertwined. One is a ruthless princess plotting to seize the throne; the other is a powerful priestess fighting to protect her family. Together, they will ignite revolution against the empire.
