About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the “lush and evocative” (VOYA) sequel to The Wrath and the Dawn, Shazi is forced from her beloved husband’s arms in order to end the curse and looming war threatening her future with her one true love.
“Fiery romance, a spirited heroine, shifting loyalties . . . With more than a few heartrending twists and turns.”—Booklist
The darker the sky, the brighter the stars . . .
In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once thought Khalid a monster—a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain—but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever.
Now she’s reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid—a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi’s spurned childhood sweetheart. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive.
The sumptuous saga that began with The Wrath and the Dawn takes its final turn as Shahrzad risks everything to find her way back to her one true love again.

4.5 stars — Oh wow. So apparently I didn’t write my review, I just thought dumped. And you know what? I’m leaving it. Cause it amuses me. You’re welcome internet. Jalal! NOOOO. Did not like. Rahim!! NOOOOO!!! Loved Irsa, especially as a fellow mouse. Was a bit slow at times, but picked up when Khalid and Shazi reunited right to the end, such a great final 40%. Felt for Tariq. Was satisfied with bad guys comeuppance. Confused about Artan. Loved Omar and Musa. Partially fell for some deceptions. Still love Khalid and Shazi, but sometimes it felt like I didn’t get enough of them (together and apart). Wish her magic had been clarified, or played a bigger part…kind of felt like a useless addition. Conclusion: Satisfied.
