I'm Sahira and it's been my dream to publish a book. I've been writing this one since I was ten. I still remember when a local author had visited my school and spoke about her story which had been set in my city too. I was so enamored by the adventure and world that she'd created that I wanted to write my own. I also was heavily inspired by anime, especially InuYasha.

And so began my own journey. With characters that grew along with me. With each draft I learned more about the craft, my characters became more rich and dynamic and I fell more in love with the story that was like a best friend to me in my darkest days and a joy to fall into.

About Me:

I love not just writing, but art and draw when I do get some time to myself and get inspired. I have a big sweet tooth, I love anime, playing Planet Zoo and try to stay connected with nature and animals.

I am a guardian to my two young brothers. One is a teen the other is a child. Working on my passion for stories and being able to make an income with it would make me feel like I can give them what they need, and not have to worry about food or their health. It's truly a life-changing journey.

With your help, I want my story which is filled with characters from different cultures, magical creatures, a slow burn romance, sweet soft boys, sarcastic characters and an adventure filled with love and hope to reach people.

I will be using the funds for:

-Marketing

-Cover art

-Character art

-Book Trailer

- To send out Physical Advanced Reader Copies (ARCS)

This is the blurb of what the book is about:

Seventeen-year-old Nezha Zaman considers her gift to control fire a dangerous secret. A secret that unravels when she encounters a vengeful shadow jinni in a maze garden that has been stalking her family, and knows about her power. Weeks after seeing the demonic being, Nezha is torn from her world through her backyard pond and transported to a parallel dimension which sought out the light nestled inside her heart.

Nezha learns from two unicorns that the dimension is her family’s roots and the light is a fragment of an angel’s shattered soul. The three must work together to find the soul’s shards in a land teeming with shape-shifting jinn. If Nezha fails to stop the Iron Prince whose pact with a jinni lead him to curse the angel, malefic jinn will shatter her soul next and the land will die.

The Candle And the Flame meets InuYasha.

Crowning Soul started as a child's wish, and I hope it can come true. Thank you so much for all your support. Let's inspire and bring hope.
