THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Control the spice. Control the kingdom.

'An epic, sand-swept adventure' Ayana Gray

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, and spreading their

nation's magic to outsiders. Desperate to find him - and to protect him - she

joins the mission sent to hunt him down. Accompanied by

Taha, a powerful beastseer, who enthrals and enrages her in equal measure, Imani

soon discovers that many secrets lie beyond the Forbidden Wastes - and in her

own heart.

Caught between

her duty to her nation, and her love for her brother, Imani must decide where

her loyalties lie . . . before it is too late.

The first in an epic fantasy series for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Hafsah Faizal and Elizabeth Lim, set in an Arabian-inspired land.
