The Last Ember BOOK 4: The Blood of Faris

Tha'ir has spent his life in the shadows—hiding, surviving, and knowing almost nothing of the world beyond the small circle his mother kept him inside. When chance (and danger) brings him to a quiet village house, everything changes in a single afternoon. There he meets Safiyyah, a woman who looks at him as if she is seeing a ghost. In her eyes he carries the face of a family long believed lost. What begins as a stunned recognition quickly becomes something far heavier: the first living link to a past Tha'ir never knew he had, and the first person outside his own memories who truly loved the mother he recently lost. As grief and fragile hope collide under one roof, old names surface—names that once ruled an empire stretching from burning deserts to frozen mountains. Stories of a conqueror who united half a continent, of the woman who held that empire together while he fought, and of the quiet figure who entered their household as a child and never truly left begin to unravel. Tha'ir is no longer just a survivor. He is the last living thread of a bloodline the world has tried to forget. And the more he learns about the Faris name, the clearer it becomes that some histories do not stay buried… and some legacies demand a price.
