Young Adult Literature. HTML:<p><b>"<i>Mirage</i> is full of characters who feel like they existed long before the story began, and a rich world that is as beautiful as it is cruel. Somaiya Daud is a rare talent. A smart, romantic, <i>exciting</i> debut." —Veronica Roth, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Divergent</i> and <i>Carve the Mark</i><br /></b><br /> A stunning epic fantasy audiobook inspired by the author's Moroccan heritage about a poor girl who must become the body double of a princess of a ruthless empire hailed as "a rich, dazzling, powerful debut" by Tahereh Mafi, the <i>New York Times</i> author of the Shatter Me series<br /> In a world dominated by the brutal Vathek empire, eighteen-year-old Amani is a dreamer. She dreams of what life was like before the occupation; she dreams of writing poetry like the old-world poems she adores; she dreams of receiving a sign from Dihya that one day, she, too, will have adventure, and travel beyond her isolated home.<br /> But when adventure comes for Amani, it is not what she expects: she is kidnapped by the regime and taken in secret to the royal palace, where she discovers that she is nearly identical to the cruel half-Vathek Princess Maram. The princess is so hated by her conquered people that she requires a body double, someone to appear in public as Maram, ready to die in her place.<br /> As Amani is forced into her new role, she can't help but enjoy the palace's beauty—and her time with the princess' fiancé, Idris. But the glitter of the royal court belies a world of violence and fear. If Amani ever wishes to see her family again, she must play the princess to perfection...because one wrong move could lead to her death.<br /> <b>More praise for <i>Mirage:</i></b><br /> "Daud is a masterful storyteller. <i>Mirage</i> gives readers an exquisitely wrought world with deft characters, death-defying stakes, and an aching romance. Bound to linger in your dreams." — Roshani Chokshi, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Star-Touched Queen<br /></i>"MIRAGE reads as an impossible trick of the light, a feather that carves words into stone, a banquet of longing and loss. Every page comes roaring to life in a way that overwhelms and transforms you. This isn't a debut novel so much as an heirloom, and the work of a master storyteller." — Margaret Stohl, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <i>Beautiful Creatures</i> &amp; <i>Black Widow: Forever Red</i><br /> "With its breathtaking worldbuilding and characters who grabbed me from the first page, Mirage is by turns thrilling and ruminative, sexy and heartbreaking. Somaiya Daud has written a moving and unforgettable debut." — Sabaa Tahir, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>An Ember in the Ashes</i></p>. Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. Romance.
