OLDER FICTION
Daud, Somaiya

Mirage

(2) YA Eighteen-year-old Amani is abducted from her impoverished village by imperial droids and forced to act as Vathek Princess Maram's body double. She endures physical modifications and the loss of her family, home, culture, and faith. But determined, resilient Amani is more than the Vath bargained for. This sci-fi adventure is most notable for its stunning world-building, with its Moroccan-influenced setting, culture, and religion evoked in vivid detail.
