She was raised in the Middle East until her formative years, when her family swapped the Abu Dhabi desert for the English Peak District hills. This change of climate had a significant impact on her growth—not physically, she’s nearly 6ft—and she learned what it was to be Black in a white world.
Saara knew she was a storyteller from the moment she told her first lie. Though her stories have developed beyond the ramblings of a child, she still appreciates the thrill of a well-told tale.THE FINAL STRIFE is Saara El-Arifi's debut novel, the first part of a trilogy inspired by Ghanaian folklore and Arabian myths.

Saara El-Arifi recommends
I, Medusa (2025)
Ayana Gray
"Gray has granted us all a gift in this thoughtful and heartfelt retelling. But perhaps it is Medusa who has been given the greatest gift by Gray: a chance to tell her truth and be listened to - an opportunity so few Black women get. Vindication and vengeance are a heady mix."
The Serpent Called Mercy (2025)
Roanne Lau
"Roanne Lau immerses you into a remarkably vivid world with a gritty underworld that raises the stakes - and your blood pressure. Full of monsters and mayhem, but most importantly, a cast of characters that you can't help but love. An astounding debut."
Daughter of Chaos (2025)
(Dark Pantheon , book 1)
A S Webb
"A.S Webb weaves familiar myths within an intricate plot to great accomplishment succeeding in a story that is both fresh and dynamic. Epic, captivating and spellbinding, Daughter of Chaos takes you on a quest like no other."
