About the Author

Sara Hashem is the USA Today and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Jasad Heir and The Jasad Crown. An American-Egyptian writer from California, she spent many sunny days holed up indoors with a book. Sara’s love for fantasy and magical realms emerged during the two years her family lived in Egypt. When she isn’t busy naming stray cats in her neighborhood after her favorite authors, Sara can be found buried under coffee-ringed notebooks. Merciful Carnage, her next adult fantasy, releases in February 2027.

Praise for "Where No Shadow Stays"

“Hashem (The Jasad Heir) gifts readers a high-stakes, genuinely scary YA thriller and a delightful love story in one.”
Shelf Awareness (starred review)

“Mina’s strong narrative voice is imbued with witty sarcasm and introspection, and Jesse is more than her match in clever banter. They’ve got a sparking chemistry that is sure to make romance fans swoon…”
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Part teen drama, part paranormal thriller and wholly entertaining, Where No Shadow Stays is a book that readers won’t be able to put down—and it might continue to creep them out after the last page has been turned.”
