Sahar Vale

Sahar Vale writes romantasy of fire and shadow — enemies to lovers, arranged engagements, and bargains sealed in blood. Her Ember Crown series opens with A Crown of Smoke and Saffron: a heroine who can smell every lie, a king poisoned at his own table, and a public engagement neither of them wants. Sahar is drawn to desert courts and hidden gifts, to princes who bargain and heroines who refuse to kneel. Her stories live where spice and smoke meet, where a single scent can unmask a traitor and a single vow can bind two enemies together. When she is not writing, she is plotting the next impossible bargain and collecting shadow princes like other people collect bookmarks. The Ember Crown continues with the next book in the series.
