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. 🥰

Omg you read this in TWO days?! 500+ pages?? Mel I’m 🥺

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! 🥰

I can neither confirm nor deny 😌 But I hope you enjoy Book 2 when you get to it!

Ahh yay I’m so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for reading 💙

Ahhh thanks, Victor!! ❤️

Thank you, Ryan!! 🥰

Thank you, Koren!! ❤️

Thank you for such an amazing extension to the map, Tim!! Really love all of the new details 🙌❤️

For anyone discovering this series for the first time, you’ll want to start with Book 1, THE STARDUST THIEF, which is available via all major retailers!

Thank you!! 🥰

Loulie al-Nazari (Sandsea trilogy) in der Midnight Merchant robes holding Qadir's flame-engulfed dagger.

I relistened to The Stardust Thief by @chelsabdullah.bsky.social last week in preparation of the release of The Ashfire King tomorrow :D
Then I itched to draw Loulie with Qadir's dagger and here we are....

Omg this is so EPIC 😭 I absolutely love this interpretation of Loulie!! Her fierce expression! The details on the outfit! And you even have the letter on the dagger 🥹

Thanks so much for drawing this beautiful artwork of Lou—I so hope you enjoy ASHFIRE!!

I very rarely reread books, but The Stardust Thief is one of the exceptions. This book will be one of my go to recommendations until the day I die.

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 💙

Only 8 days until THE ASHFIRE KING is out in the world! 🥰

I am so incredibly happy to hear you enjoyed the continuation of this adventure! Thank you for your kind words—and for preordering as well! 💙💙
