"A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the
heart."―Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief
A fugitive queen strikes a bargain with her greatest enemy and becomes
embroiled in a complex game that could resurrect her scorched kingdom or
leave it in ashes forever In this unmissable Egyptian-inspired epic
fantasy debut.
Ten years ago, the kingdom of Jasad burned. Its magic was outlawed. Its
royal family murdered. At least, that's what Sylvia wants people to
believe. The Heir of Jasad escaped the massacre, and she intends to stay
hidden, especially from the armies of Nizahl that continue to hunt her
people.
But a moment of anger changes everything. When Arin, the Nizahl Heir,
tracks a group of Jasadi rebels to her village, Sylvia accidentally
reveals her magic--and captures his attention. Now Sylvia's forced to
make a deal with her greatest enemy: Help him hunt the rebels in
exchange for her life.
A deadly game begins. Sylvia can't let Arin discover her identity, even
as hatred shifts into something more between the Heirs. And as the tides
change around her, Sylvia will have to choose between the life she wants
and the one she abandoned.
The scorched kingdom is rising, and it needs a queen.
