About the This Woven Kingdom Series
This is a post Iāve wanted to write for so longā¦ and finally, here we are. This Woven Kingdom is a beloved series of mine, and I canāt believe weāre now at FOUR BOOKS. Itās incredible how an author can keep me hooked for so long.
Ā
Usually, if the series isnāt good enough, I donāt even bother continuing past book 3 (From Blood and Ash Iām looking at YOU, YES), but This Woven Kingdom has somethingā¦ itās pure catnip!!
So, with the release of book four A Spiral of Fate, I wanted to celebrate it with a super mega guide, just like you book besties know I adore writing.
Ā
But before we go deep into the guide, I want to address something important: This Woven Kingdom is one of the best slow burn fantasy romances out there right now (more on this later on the whys), AND it nails the enemies-to-lovers trope to a T as well.
If youāre as obsessed as I am with these two tropes, this series is A MUST.
And if you want more books like This Woven Kingdom, save these two posts for laterāyouāll thank me!!
Now, letās get into the guide!!
This Woven Kingdom Series Guide
This Woven Kingdom Series Reading Order:
As usual with long series, there isnāt, likeā¦ a big shiny number on the cover saying āhey, this is book two of the series xDā. And believe me, Iāve actually seen people on Reddit saying stuff like āfuck, I started with the second book and now Iām totally lost!!ā (true story, in an ACOTAR subreddit someone confessed thisā¦ poor thing totally spoiled the whole series for herself T__T).
Ā
So, for my new book besties, to make sure you donāt end up in the same mess, hereās the correct reading order for This Woven Kingdom.
Ā
And yes, each book picks up right where the last one left off. Itās all one continuous story, not like other series where book one follows one character, book two another, and they all interconnect together later (The Lunar Chronicles does this, for example).
Ā
You can either click the box with the book titles to jump directly to each section (with summaries, ending explained, tropesā¦ you know me haha), or just click the book covers!

Synopsis
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom – and the world.
This Woven Kingdom Summary
A full summary with the most important plot points for This Woven Kingdom. Be aware this summary is full of spoilers!!
The Hidden Heir
Alizeh hides in plain sight as a servant in Ardunia, all the while concealing the truth that she is the prophesied heir to the Jinn throne. Gifted with forbidden magic, she survives quietly in a kingdom that has all but destroyed her people.
A Prince who falls in love with a common girl
Prince Kamran, raised to hate and distrust the Jinn, never stood a chance once he met her. Heās drawn to her strength and defiant attitude, and before long she inevitable falls for her.
(Yes, it smells like instalove, but it has that unmistakable Tahereh Mafi flair that makes you forgive it.)
The Prophecy
The prophecy is clear: the Jinn queenās heir will rise, and with her rise the Ardunian monarchy will fall.
When Alizehās identity is exposed by King Zaal himself(Kamranās paranoid grandfather) she is captured, and whatever fragile bond she had with Kamran crumbles under the weight of crown, loyalty, and destiny.
The King of Tulan ( SPOILERS!!!)
The real plot twist comes when Cyrus, the young king of Tulan, enters the scene unannounced. ( Rhysand fans from Acotar will totally see the similarities here) Charismatic, powerfull and dangerous, he slays King Zaal right there in the court, turning Ardunia into chaos.
Ā
With the old king dead and Kamran powerless to intervene, Cyrus kidnaps Alizeh and escapes with her on the back of his dragon, binding her fate to his own dark plans.
THis Woven Kingdom Ending Explained: Cyrus's Entrance
FULL OF SPOILERS DON'T READ!!
Cyrusās completely unexpected appearance in the final chaptersābesides being one of the best entrances of a character Iāve read since Rhysandās arrival in that particular moment in ACOMAFācompletely shifts the story.
Up until then, the tension was around Alizehās hidden identity and her forbidden romance with Prince Kamran. Now, a third character storms onto the scene and basically snatches Alizeh away, taking her to his kingdom,
Ā
This HUGE twist does two things:
Ā
Love Triangle: Yes!! That entranceā¦ Cyrus doesnāt care about Kamran, Ardunia, or anything else. He shows up, kills the king, demonstrates his power, and leaves with Alizeh on his dragon..period.
High Political Stakes: With Alizeh now at Cyrusās mercy, the conflict is no longer just between Ardunia and the hidden Jinn. It now involves Tulan, a powerful kingdom with its own agenda.
Ā
Cyrus comes in to give the story a massive twist. His motives by the end of This Woven Kingdom are totally unclear, but his claim on Alizeh ensures that the prophecy will unfold in unexpected ways.
This cliffhanger pushes the story from a cute forbidden romance into full-scale political fantasy and sets the stage for These Infinite Threads (Book 2).
The Prophecy in This Woven Kingdom
āThe heir of the Jinn shall rise, and with her rise will fall the human kings.ā
This prophecy foretells that the lost descendant of the Jinn queen will one day reclaim her throne, overthrowing the human monarchy that has ruled Ardunia for centuries.
Ā
For the Ardunian crown: the prophecy is a dire threat. King Zaal views it as inevitable doom and orders his court to watch for signs of the Jinn heir.
Ā
For Kamran: it creates a painful conflict. His duty demands that he fight against the prophecy, yet his heart draws him to Alizeh, the very girl destined to fulfil it.
Ā
For Cyrus, the king of Tulan:Ā He sees Alizeh not as a threat but as a weapon, and by binding her to himself, he hopes to turn destiny to his advantage. (or that is what it seems for us readers when we met him in his glorious entry hehe )
This Woven Kingdom Tropes & Themes
This Woven Kingdom Spice Level
If youāre going in expecting spiceā¦donāt. This book is firmly on the clean side. There are no explicit scenes, and romance takes a backseat to worldbuilding, prophecy, and court intrigue.
Ā
That said, the **tension is constant**. Every interaction between Alizeh and Kamran screams with forbidden attraction: stolen glances, and the weight of knowing they shouldnāt want each other. Itās all yearning, political stakes, and angst..the kind of slow-burn tension that keeps you hooked without a single kiss.
In short: zero spice, maximum angst.
This Woven Kingdom review: the King of slow burn angst and tension
Truth be told, this series wasnāt hyped AT ALL when the first book came out.
Ā
There was some instalove (like in all Tahereh Mafi books, sheās the author of the mega-popular dystopian romance Shatter Me) and people were likeā¦ āokay, the ending is promisingā¦ but Iām not totally convinced.ā
It wasnāt until book 3 hit the shelves that This Woven Kingdom truly EXPLODED.
Ā
Without giving away too many spoilers, letās just say this series portrays slow burn to absolute perfection. Can you believe weāre entering book 4 and the heroine and main love interest havenāt EVEN KISSED yet??
Ā
Normally, if by book 4 there isnāt even a soft kiss, Iād be bored out of my mind, but believe me when I tell you itās IMPOSSIBLE to get bored with this series. Tahereh Mafi is SO GOOD at writing slow burns that youāre dying for more with every single page.
Ā
The main love interest is utterly TORMENTED and tragic. His POV is amazing, it honestly carries so much of the emotional weight of the story. I think it helped tons that this series has multiple POVs; it adds so much more to the overall plot.
Ā
Cyrus is the archetype of āI love her so much I should let her goā¦ but I canāt.ā Heās so conflictedā¦ and POSSESSIVE. And I adore this from Tahereh. Out of nowhere, her male characters will drop one of those super possessive lines that feel almost too much for a YA book, and youāre left likeā¦ what did I just read?? And I love it.
(Psstā¦ another author whoās known for writing VERY similar male characters is Stephanie Garber, no wonder her Once Upon a Broken Heart series is a fan favourite too.)
Keeping this review strictly to book one: I was totally hooked. And the ending? Something I did NOT expect at all.
Ā
Tahereh is also well known for her love triangles, so I spent the entire first book waiting for the other guy to appearā¦ and it did NOT disappoint. Like with her Shatter Me series, I didnāt realise who endgame was until the end of book 2. Back when this first book released, I still remember the heated forum debates: āKamran is endgame!ā ā āNo, Cyrus is the one!!ā But luckily, this has already been solved (love triangle haters, worry not!!).
Several authors use the same formula (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing) but heyā¦ Tahereh was here first. And she EXCELS at it.
Overall Rating for This Woven Kingdom ( Book 1 )
Books like This Woven Kingdom
If youāre anything like me and you love to suffer with books where the slow burn drags on forever, but you just canāt put them down and end up torturing yourself right alongside the characters…then these titles are perfect to keep the delicious pain going š

Table of Contents for Book 2: These Infinite Threads
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Published: 2023
Kindle Unlimited: No
Pages: 411
Spice level: Clean
Synopsis
With the heat of a kiss, the walls between Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. And so have both of their lives.
Alizeh, the heir to the Jinn throne, is destined to free her people from the half-lives they’ve been forced to live under human rule. When Kamran, the heir to the human throne, falls in love with her, he’s forced to question everything he’s been taught about Jinn.
Kamran’s grandfather lays dead at the hand of Cyrus, ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Tulan. Cyrus has stolen Alizeh away to his homeland and plans to marry her there, giving her everything she needs to become the Jinn queenāand when she assumes the throne he will have fulfilled his own bargain with the devil.
Alizeh wants nothing to do with Cyrus’s deal or the devil. But without a way to escape Tulan, and with the fulfillment of her own destiny tantalizingly close, she’ll have to decide whether she can set aside her emotions to become the queen her people need.
Kamran, meanwhile, is picking up the pieces in Ardunia. Facing betrayal at every turn, all he knows is that he must go to Tulan to avenge his grandfather. He can only hope that Alizeh will be waiting for him thereāand that she hasn’t yet become the queen of Tulan.
These Infinite Threads Summary
FULL OF SPOILERS DON'T READ!!
Faerie besties..buckle up..becauuuse this book is A RIDE. Tahereh Mafi really said, āYou thought you had things figured out in book one? WRONG
Ā
We open right where This Woven Kingdom left us: Cyrus storms in, kills King Zaal like heās swatting a fly, and flies off with Alizeh on his dragon. Kamran? Left screaming in the ashes. And us? Already emotionally destroyed on page one.
Alizeh in Tulan
Cyrus takes (kidnaps) Alizeh and brings her to Tulan. This kingdom looks bright on the surface, golden palaces and splendour everywhere, but underneath, itās rotten with corruption.
Ā
Cyrus immediately declares that Alizeh will be his queen. He doesnāt even bother to ask. Period xD. Naturally, Alizeh is livid: trapped, missing Kamran, and plotting her escape.
But thereās more: Cyrus doesnāt just want power. Heās cursed. He once made a bargain with Iblees (basically the devil of this universe), trading his soul for strength and the throne.
Ā
The problem? His soul is now bound; heās destined to suffer unbearable tormentā¦ and his time is running out.
He needs Alizeh to break the curse.
Cyrus: Our lovely walking contradiction
Cyrus is our classic tormented villain love interest: cruel one moment, vulnerable the next. He hides behind a mask of evilness, but the cracks inevitably show…like when his pain overwhelms him and Alizeh catches glimpses of just how broken he truly is.
Ā
Their chemistry is fire, but also deceiving, because you never really know if heās showing his true selfā¦ or just manipulating her.
Meanwhile Kamranā¦
Back in Andrunia, Kamran is a mess. Heās grieving his grandfather, scarred and burned from the battle, and basically watching his world crumble. The court questions his worthiness as heir. His face is marked, his heart is shattered, and yet he clings to the hope that Alizeh is alive. Our poor boyā¦ (just a secret. I rooted for Kamran almost all this book)
Ā
His chapters are heavy with guilt, rage, and that obsessive loyalty that made me love him even more.
These Infinite Threads Ending Explained: CAOS
The last chapters are pure CHAOS.
Kamran wants to go to Tulan to get Alizeh back, but he isnāt in a strong political position to make it happen. So, he starts scheming a way to sneak into Tulan without making too much noise (with the help of some new āfriendsā).
Cyrus, meanwhile, decides he wants Alizeh for himself, by his side, curse be damned xD.
Ā
And then thereās the prophecyā¦ which, of course, runs so much deeper than Alizeh ever thought. And Iblees? Yeah, he seems to play a major role in it.
The final scenes leave us with:
- Alizeh unable to fully return to Kamran (too many political and magical chains still hold her).
- But she also canāt completely reject Cyrus, because of his curse, the prophecy, and the way fate keeps shoving them together.
- Ibleesā shadow looms over everything.Ā
Ā
Basically, Mafi doesnāt end this book on a HUGE cliffhanger like the previous one, but she makes it crystal clear: the next instalment will define Alizehās fate. She either breaks the curseā¦ or is bound to Cyrus forever.
Ā
(Note from Alessa: I wouldnāt mind being bound to Cyrus forever haha xD)
These Infinite Threads Tropes and Themes
These Infinite Threads Spice Level
As with the first book, These Infinite Threads doesnāt contain spice, but the tension and angst escalate greatly in this second book, and we can see Cyrusās obsession and possessiveness with Alizeh in all their glory.
These Infinite Threads Review: Team Kamran or Team Cyrus?
After the HUGE cliffhanger and rollercoaster that was This Woven Kingdom, I was genuinely afraid to dive into this one. Of course, I joined every debate online, trying to guess who was going to be endgame. The Kamran vs. Cyrus debate was PEAK at that time.
Ā
I have to confess I was team Kamran until book 3. I wasnāt totally convinced about Cyrusā¦ but I guess Tahereh Mafi does this on purpose. Same with her Shatter Me series (which, honestly, deserves its own full review someday because that series is SO GOOD).
Ā
This book really focuses on Cyrus and Alizeh, or at least thatās how it felt to me…and on the VERY conflicted feelings Cyrus has for her, which he tries to deny again and again. But heyā¦ I love watching tormented male characters suffer for love, and this author writes them SO well. You can literally feel the angst pouring through the pages.
Ā
We also follow Kamranās side of the story, and there are some genuinely funny interactions between him and his new friends as they plot to rescue Alizeh. The contrast between the heavy, dramatic POVs of Alizeh and Cyrus and the more adventurous, lighthearted tone of Kamran creates the perfect balance. Without that, the book might have felt too heavy and overly character-drivenābut the addition of those side characters (introduced back in book 1) really lightens things up, and you start to genuinely care for them.
Ā
The ending wasnāt as impactful as the one in the first book. However, I donāt think this instalment needed an explosive ending, because its whole purpose was to set up the pieces and prepare the board for book 3. And honestly? It nailed that goal.

All This Twisted Glory Review: Slow Burn Fantasy Romance at Its Peak
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Published: 2024
Pages: 414
Spice level: Clean
Synopsis
As the long-lost heir to the Jinn throne, Alizeh has finally found her peopleāand she mightāve found her crown. Cyrus, the mercurial ruler of Tulan, has offered her his kingdom in a twisted exchange: one that would begin with their marriage and end with his murder.
Cyrusās dark reputation precedes him; all the world knows of his blood-soaked past. Killing him should be easyāand accepting his offer might be the only way to fulfill her destiny and save her people. But the more Alizeh learns of him, the more she questions whether the terrible stories about him are true.
Ensnared by secrets, Cyrus has ached for Alizeh since she first appeared in his dreams many months ago. Now that he knows those visions were planted by the devil, he can hardly bear to look at herāmuch less endure her company. But despite their best efforts to despise each other, Alizeh and Cyrus are drawn together over and over with an all-consuming thirst that threatens to destroy them both.
Meanwhile, Prince Kamran has arrived in Tulan, ready to exact revengeā¦

All This Twisted Glory Summary
Andā¦ here we go again!! Tahereh Mafiās stories are just SO addictive. I donāt even know how she does it, but she ALWAYS keeps me hooked!!
Let’s get right into the summary, because this was BY FAR my favourite book on the three.
Kamran arrives in Tulan (yay!)
All This Twisted Glory kicks off with Kamran flying straight into Tulan, joined by Miss Huda (one of my absolute favourite side characters) and his newly found āfriendsā (letās be realā¦ they kind of invited themselves along. Kamran wasnāt exactly convinced about this ragtag group, but hey, help is help, haha).
Ā
Heās furious, heartbroken, still mourning his grandfather, and scarred both inside and out…but heās not about to let Cyrus win Alizehās heart. Kamran will literally cross kingdoms if thatās what it takes to bring her back.
Alizeh, the Captive Queen
Meanwhile, Alizeh is in Cyrusās palace. Surrounded by jewels, dressed by him in every kind of silk, she sits at his side as Cyrus parades her as his future bride. To the court, she looks powerful, but she knows the truth: sheās trapped.
Ā
She misses Kamran, tries to resist Cyrus, but canāt help being tormented whenever his mask slips and she sees his suffering. And deep down, she realises she wonāt be able to simply run away from the prophecyā¦ and that, one way or another, she will end up marrying Cyrus in the end.
Cyrus obsession becomes something more...
Cyrus isā¦ a mess. Still cursed, still tormented by Iblees, he insists his destiny ties Alizeh to him. Heās manipulative, cruel, yet visibly broken. And thatās exactly what tears at Alizeh too. She hates him, but in those rare moments when his mask slips, she canāt help feeling compassion (and maybe something more?) for him.
Ā
Tahereh Mafi is SO GOOD at making us see both faces of Cyrus: the monsterā¦ and the king in agony.
The Reunion we waited Three Books for : Kamran - Alizeh - Cyrus
When Kamran and co. arrive at Tulan, theyāre properly received as guests. Kamran is livid, seeing Alizeh beside Cyrusā¦ and Cyrus doesnāt miss an opportunity to mock him and omg itās so delicious seeing them fight for the same girlā¦ The tension is so good!!.
From Kamranās POV
He has been chasing Alizeh across kingdoms, doing the unthinkable to meet her, convinced sheās been taken against her will. When he sees her beside Cyrus, his heart literally breaks into pieces. Every glance he gives her is thick with longing and a silent promise of āI will take you out from here.ā
Alizehās POV
Alizeh sees Kamran and everything stops.
Sheās wearing Cyrusās crown, playing Cyrusās queen, and every word she says is dangerous. Loving Kamran openly could kill them both. She does love Kamran, but watching Cyrusās torment constantly, seeing him suffering and how the curse is eating him alive, something opens in her. She is not in love with him YET, but she understands him in a way no one else doesā¦ and that terrifies her.
Ā
When Kamran challenges Cyrus, Alizeh defends him (OMG THAT PART!!). Kamran doesnāt understand because he sees everything as black or white (āyou are with him or youāre with meā) and this is a pivot point in the storyāwhen, in my opinion, the love triangle begins to break. Alizeh softens towards Cyrus right in front of Kamran, when she defends him, and Kamran sees everything..
Cyrusās POV
And then thereās Cyrus.
Cyrus lives for this. He smirks, he taunts, he positions himself at Alizehās side just to watch Kamran bleed. For him, itās a game of power: Kamran may love her, but Cyrus has the prophecyā¦and the girl.
Emotional Damage
For Kamran, this feels like betrayal. Heās bled for her, crossed kingdoms for her, and now she stands between him and Cyrusā¦ on Cyrusās side.
He is devastated.
Ā
Basically, Kamran realises that love might not be enough.
Ā
Cyrus realises Alizehās compassion might open the door to something moreā¦ and since he clearly loves her and is obsessed with her, heās happy haha.
Ā
Alizeh realises she canāt simply belong to Kamran anymore, not when the prophecy, the curse, and her own feelings bind her to someone else as well.
All This Twisted GLory Ending Explained: The Blood Oath
When Kamran and his friends realise the wedding is going to happen no matter what (because of the prophecy and all the political schemes that have been building since book 1), Kamran makes his move: he forces Cyrus to take an unbreakable oath.
Ā
The oath doesnāt just mean Cyrus must protect Alizeh; it tethers him to her very existence. If he betrays her, he dies. If she dies, he dies. He cannot stray too far from her side, physically or magically. Itās not romance; itās chains.
Ā
This is Kamranās safeguard for keeping the woman he loves safe.
Cyrusās doomed and tragic existence: Why he agrees anyway
This is where the tragedy hits in ALL ITS GLORY (hence the name of the book maybe?).
Cyrus accepts the oath because he doesnāt believe he will survive. Heās already resigned to dying. He thinks his death will become Alizehās crown.
Ā
He pushes for the marriage because itās about Alizehās future, not his. By marrying herāeven if he dies soon afterāsheāll be legitimized as queen, she will inherit the throne, and the prophecy will be fulfilled. (As a side effect, itās also his only way of staying close to her, even as his curse destroys him.)
Ā
He is certain Alizeh doesnāt want him. He knows Kamran holds her heart. But after realizing that his feelings for her are REAL and not a manipulation from Iblees, he realizes he loves her (this happens before the oath. And reading his POVs…best part of the book imo), that Alizeh was the only one who truly saw him. So, being bound to her, and if she remembers him with even a bit of compassion, then his doomed life will have had meaning.

All This Twisted Glory Review: Slow Burn Fantasy Romance at Its Peak
Ok, I made the mistake of reading this book without checking at least a summary from book 2, and it took me quite a WHILE TO UNDERSTAND what was happening. So, as a suggestion, if you havenāt begun the series yet, use these summaries before reading the next book.
Ā
Having said that, this book was my favourite by far.
Ā
In All This Twisted Glory, Tahereh Mafi finally gets to the point with Cyrus and portrays him in all his tormented glory. Oh boy, how he suffers for loveā¦ we truly feel his pain with every decision. We can understand his torment through his POV, and then see it unravel again through Alizehās words in her POV.
Ā
Besides, Kamran enters the scene and MY GOD, the tension!!
Ā
Kamran quickly realises Alizeh is not being held hostageā¦ or at least he FEELS thereās something between those two that he cannotāor will notāunderstand. Because who in their right mind would fall in love with the villain?? (We book girlies, of course!!)
Ā
The last third of the book surpassed ALL my expectations. Tahereh gave us angst, tension, and I honestly didnāt think the kiss was going to happen in this bookābut I was completely trapped by their dynamics. Still, never in my wildest dreams did I think the tension would skyrocket with that last resource.
Binding Alizeh and Cyrus physically, having a wedding, and yet making Cyrus the unluckiest man on earthā¦ The plot thickens!!! Telenovelas are NOTHING compared to this level of tension.
Ā
Overall, the best book in the series, with every piece now set in place in preparation for book 4.

Frequently Asked Questions
Itās a Persian-inspired fantasy romance following Alizeh, a servant girl hiding a royal secret sheās the lost heir to the Jinn throne. Her fate collides with Prince Kamran, the human heir sworn to destroy her kind, and a prophecy that could bring both their worlds to ruin.
Nope š
This Woven Kingdom is completely separate from Tahereh Mafiās Shatter Me series. You donāt need any prior knowledge. This world, lore, and characters are entirely new.
Absolutely, itās a romantasy, meaning romance and fantasy are central to the story. Expect court intrigue, emotional longing, tension and ANGST like you’ve never experienced before.
Yes, a deliciously complicated one. It starts as a forbidden romance between Alizeh and Prince Kamran, but Cyrusās entrance in the first book turns everything upside down. By book two, the tension between all three is at full slow-burn capacity.
Every SPiral of Fate is NOT the last book in the series. So far we have:
This Woven Kingdom (2022)
These Infinite Threads (2023)
All This Twisted Glory (2024)
Every Spiral of Fate (2025)
The series is marketed as YA/NA romantasy, meaning itās suitable for young adult readers but has a mature tone, complex political intrigue, and emotional intensity that also appeal to adult fantasy fans.
This Woven Kingdom itās a clean romance series. But donāt let that fool you: itās full of slow-burn tension, longing, and forbidden attraction
Cyrus is the King of Tulan who appears at the end of the first book. Heās mysterious, powerful, morally grey, and arrives at the end of the first book killing the Ardunian king and kidnapping Alisteh in the process.
We love him because he is a tormented antihero and is totally obsessed with Alisteh
Every Spiral of Fate, the fourth book in the This Woven Kingdom series was released on 30 September 2025
Every Spiral of Fate is NOT the last book in the series. We will have to wait a little bit more for the series finale (Every Spiral of Fate is the fourth books in the series)
Highly recommended! THis Woven Kingdom is rich in worldbuilding and politics. If itās been a while since you read All This Twisted Glory, youāll want a quick recap (and yes, Iāve got you covered, check my full This Woven Kingdom recap guide! ).
Every Spiral of Fate is not the final book in the This Woven Kingdom series, so Tahereh Mafi hasnāt confirmed Alizehās true endgame love interest. However, everything so far strongly suggests that Cyrus is the one destined for her.
