15 Books by Muslim American Authors That Need to Be on Your Radar

The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson features fantasy, history, and romance. What's not to love? It follows Fatima, a concubine in the royal court of Granada (the last emirate of Muslim Spain) and her friend Hassan, the palace mapmaker. Hassan is no ordinary mapmaker, though — he can bend the maps he draws into reality. When representatives of the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan's surrender, they see his ability as a threat, and he and Fatima plan an escape across the country.
