9798233413681: The Last Pyre

Synopsis

The five clans of Ferrath have been divided for a hundred years - by fear, by law, and by a lie no one dared name aloud. Kael knows the truth now. So do Venn, Sable, Lyra, Corr, and Fen. What was called catastrophe was a misunderstanding. What was called protection was control. And the bonding that five Elder Councils have spent a century trying to prevent? It takes forty-three seconds. But completing the Pyremark is the easy part. What comes after - the six months of difficult conversations, the historical reckoning, the slow and painful work of dismantling a century of organized fear - that is the real ending. The Last Pyre is the final chapter of The Pyremark Sagas: a story about power that settles instead of surges, and the people who choose to stay in the room long after the fire goes out.

À propos de l'auteur

Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature - shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz.

Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha - a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.

He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance - and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
