One touch is all it takes. One touch, and Juliette Ferrars can leave a fully grown man gasping for air. One touch, and she can kill.
No one knows why Juliette has such incredible power. It feels like a curse, a burden that one person alone could never bear. But The Reestablishment sees it as a gift, sees her as an opportunity. An opportunity for a deadly weapon.
Juliette has never fought for herself before. But when she’s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had.
Includes a special sneak peek of This Woven Kingdom, the first book in Tahereh Mafi’s bestselling fantasy series inspired by Persian folklore!

Dystopian fiction and young adult literature gained a distinct narrative voice with the release of the bestselling Shatter Me series, a speculative saga following a young woman whose touch is lethal. Tahereh Mafi built an international readership through this work and went on to publish over a dozen books spanning dystopian fiction, contemporary YA, and high fantasy. Her novels have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than thirty languages.
Born on November 9, 1988, in Connecticut, Mafi is an Iranian-American author who attended Soka University. She made her publishing debut with the novel Shatter Me, which expanded into a widely read dystopian series that includes novellas such as Destroy Me and full-length sequels like Unravel Me. Mafi subsequently broadened her bibliography with contemporary fiction, publishing A Very Large Expanse of Sea. Longlisted for the National Book Award and named one of the best young adult books of all time by Time magazine, the novel was optioned for film development by Levantine Films. She continued her contemporary writing with An Emotion of Great Delight and authored the middle-grade fantasy novels Furthermore and Whichwood. Mafi later introduced the Woven Kingdom high-fantasy series, including the titles These Infinite Threads and All This Twisted Glory. In 2013, she married fellow author Ransom Riggs, and they reside in Southern California with their daughter.
Across multiple genres, Mafi explores core themes of isolation, identity, emotional resilience, and personal growth under extraordinary pressures. In her speculative and fantasy series, including Ignite Me and All This Twisted Glory, she combines romance with complex political intrigue and power dynamics. Her contemporary novels draw on cultural identity and faith to examine the lived experience of Muslim youth in post-9/11 America. Her writing is recognized for lyrical sensory details, deep character interiority, and inventive formatting devices in her early dystopian prose.
