Cursebound with Saara El-Arifi

Cursebound with Saara El-Arifi

Join Sunday Times bestselling author Saara El-Arifi as she unveils Cursebound, the spellbinding sequel to Faebound, which won Waterstones SFF Book of the Month and was longlisted for the TikTok Book Awards. 

Betrayed by destiny. Cursed by love. Bound by hope.  

Yeeran was born for war but is unprepared for love. She has left her new lover, the Queen of the fae, to return to her homeland, only to find that her former lover now threatens war against the fae.  

Left behind, her sister Lettle is determined to break the curse that binds the fae to their realm. When a stranger appears in the city, Lettle is convinced he’s the key. But the Fates that once spoke to her have fallen silent.  

Can Lettle and Yeeran discover the secret behind the curse – and unite these two worlds before they destroy each other? 

Saara will discuss crafting complex queer romance in fantasy settings, building political intrigue across realms, and how sisterhood shapes her storytelling. This night in is perfect for readers who savour their fantasy with equal parts romance and revolution. 

“A romantic fantasy of epic proportions, crackling with magic and passion.” Samantha Shannon author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
