The Kingdom of Alanya is home to mystic warriors and mischievous djinn, vulgar poets and vain philosophers, soaring simurghs and scheming shahs. Little do the people know that a power struggle between an ancient sorceress and an upstart sultana threatens to bathe the sands in bile and bones. A bloody cauldron boils, and primeval gods laugh whilst they stir it. As warhorses charge, arrows shower, and cannon shots brighten the night, all must choose a side.

This was such a brilliant read!
I loved it from start to finish, especially with all the twists and turns. It was so tense at times.
It was interesting getting the story from two different perspectives, although I admit that at some point I started finding Zedra annoying and preferred Cyra's chapters over Zedra's. I suppose that does tell you how well her character was for it to inspire such strong feelings towards her.
I liked the return of some of the characters from the first book, and hope some of the old and new characters will make a return in the final book.
The book was really well written and the descriptions of various scenes was beautifully done.
I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to Zamil Akhtar for an eARC of this book.
