These Infinite Threads - Tahereh Mafi

These Infinite Threads is the second novel in Tahereh Mafi’s This Woven Kingdom series, expanding a richly imagined world inspired by Persian history and mythology. The story continues the emotional and political conflict surrounding Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient kingdom, whose destiny places her at the center of power struggles and forbidden desire.

As Alizeh’s true identity becomes impossible to ignore, she must navigate court intrigue, betrayal, and the weight of prophecy, while her connection to Cyrus, a morally complex prince bound by duty and ambition, deepens in dangerous ways. Their relationship is marked by tension, longing, and impossible choices, where love threatens to undermine destiny itself.

Tahereh Mafi’s prose is lyrical and immersive, blending romance with political fantasy and moral ambiguity. The novel explores how power reshapes identity, how loyalty can conflict with the heart, and how destiny may be both a prison and a path to freedom.

These Infinite Threads raises the emotional stakes of the series, delivering a story driven by desire, sacrifice, and the cost of claiming one’s throne.
