The desert city Qalia has shielded its existence - and the secrets of its magic misra tea - from outsiders for generations. But when her brother disappears into the Forbidden Wastes, soldier Imani joins the mission sent to find him - before he can expose Qalia's magic, and face punishment for his crime. Accompanied by her rival, the devastatingly handsome Taha, Imani soon discovers that many secrets lie beyond the shifting desert sands, and in her own heart.

This was such a great book, I definitely did not feel like it was almost 500 pages long, I breezed through it. It was very easy to read and I loved every single part of it. I am so excited for the nest one!
I'm glad Imani matured and changed throughout the book. She was really annoying at first, but she got better. I am not a fan of romance, so the romance/ love triangle was not a favorite part. I like the way we learn about the world as Imani is learning about it. Amira is my favorite! I was glad to see her being recognized as more than just a little sister.
A brilliant debut! Usually i don't find myself enjoying adventure-quest storytelling but this book was exciting and very engaging. Loved the magic system, the middle eastern vibes, the character interactions and absolutely loved the heroine, flaws and all.
It got me out of my reading slump. Definitely one of my favourite reads this year, and I'm glad that this is a trilogy because i can't seem to get enough.
