An exceptional story, beautifully written -- Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth Lushly imagined and powerfully characterized, it's a potent page-turner of intrigue and romance. Publishers Weekly Set against a backdrop of political intrigue and a simmering revolution, this is a carefully constructed narrative of uncertain loyalties, searing romance, and subtle magic in a harsh desert city. Booklist, starred review Dreamily romantic, deliciously angst-y, addictively thrilling. Kirkus Reviews Ahdieh weaves a world that is lush with detail. You will want to hear, taste, and touch everything. But it's not just the world that is vividly alive. The characters are fascinating too: I loved the friendships, romance, and shifts in feeling.
