About Sunset of Tyranny by Hussna Azamy
A cursed healer. A dying god. A world ruled by a radical matriarch. And a quest to shatter the chains of tyranny.
Blessed with the gift of healing yet cursed with a destructive darkness, Eir leads a solitary existence. When her sole companion is ripped from her life, she vows to dismantle the empire built on the blood and bones of her land’s fallen men.
Her only hope is to liberate the sun-bound god slumbering within the empire’s grasp. Yet, time bleeds away like the god’s fading essence, each lost breath echoing the dwindling hopes of a people on the brink of extinction.
Can Eir master her curse and free the god in time, or will surrendering to the darkness turn her into a monster far worse than the enemy?
Set in a Middle Eastern-inspired society, “Sunset of Tyranny” blends the potent gender themes of Margaret Atwood with the intricate magic systems of Brandon Sanderson and the captivating world-building and romantic elements of Sarah J. Maas.
What the readers say:
– “I cannot stress enough how much I loved the image of the world the author has painted. From the setting to the different characters and the races, the whole world felt vivid and alive—which was such a stark contrast to how dark and cruel it was within that world. I thought it was great.”
– “Strong, emotionally relatable characters with strong personal/plot goals. Azvy kind of won 90% of that for me, and a fun, action packed world with really intense antagonists and fun plot twists. And that’s being compared to authors like Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, Peter Newman among others…”
– “Eir was a wonderfully-drawn hero… Courageous and committed, but also uncertain and troubled, when her character was given the floor, she was captivating.”
– “Even though the genre is very clearly fantasy, I wasn’t expecting to encounter themes so pertinent to our world and so hard-hitting as I found myself reading this book. There was a good deal of feminism about the plot and characters, but also, for those that look, there is quite an analysis of masculinity in there too.”
– “I thought Eir and Abaddon’s building relationship was one of the highlights of the book, and it developed in a real and believable way, whilst still giving the reader all the tropes we love (mainly enemies to lovers, of course).”
