The much anticipated sequel to the breathtaking The Wrath and the Dawn, lauded by Publishers Weekly as "a potent page-turner of intrigue and romance."

I am surrounded on all sides by a desert. A guest, in a prison of sand and sun. My family is here. And I do not know whom I can trust.

In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad has been torn from the love of her husband Khalid, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once believed him a monster, but his secrets revealed a man tormented by guilt and a powerful curse—one that might keep them apart forever. Reunited with her family, who have taken refuge with enemies of Khalid, and Tariq, her childhood sweetheart, she should be happy. But Tariq now commands forces set on destroying Khalid's empire. Shahrzad is almost a prisoner caught between loyalties to people she loves. But she refuses to be a pawn and devises a plan.

While her father, Jahandar, continues to play with magical forces he doesn't yet understand, Shahrzad tries to uncover powers that may lie dormant within her. With the help of a tattered old carpet and a tempestuous but sage young man, Shahrzad will attempt to break the curse and reunite with her one true love.

Alguns trechos

"— E como você vai saber que achou essa pessoa imaginária?
— Suspeito que ela seja como o ar. Como saber respirar."

"Joonam. Ele já a chamara assim. Meu tudo."

"Um passado partilhado não lhe garante um futuro, meu amigo."

"Algumas pessoas existem em nossa vida apenas por um breve instante. E nós as devemos deixar seguir para iluminar outro céu."

"Você realmente espera que eu respire em um mundo sem ar?"

"E por isso eu escrevo para os céus...
Eu amo você milhares de vezes. E nunca pedirei desculpas por isso.
Khalid
[...] E então soltou as brasas ao vento.
Numa gloriosa aurora."
