Raised to protect her nation from the monsters lurking in the sands, seventeen-year-old Imani must fight to find her brother whose betrayal is now their greatest threat. In the hidden desert city of Qalia, secret spice magic awakens the affinities of those who drink the misra tea. With her affinity for iron, seventeen-year-old Imani can wield a dagger like no other – and for that she has gained a reputation as the next greatest Shield, battling djinn, ghouls, and the other monsters spreading across the sands. But ever since her brother was discovered stealing their nation’s coveted spice – a tell-tale sign of magical obsession – and disappeared into the deadly Forbidden Wastes, Imani’s reputation has been in tatters. Despite Atheer’s betrayal, there isn’t a day that goes by that she doesn’t grieve him. Then Imani discovers signs her brother may be alive.

Description

DUTY . . . OR LOVE?


THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The first book in an epic young adult romantic fantasy series set in an Arabian-inspired land with secret spice magic and rivals-to-lovers romance.

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.

Caught between her duty to her nation, her love for her brother and her growing feelings for Taha, Imani must decide where her loyalties lie . . . before it’s too late.
