The darker the sky, the brighter the stars.
In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once thought Khalid a monster—a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain—but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever.
Now she’s reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid—a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi’s spurned childhood sweetheart. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive.
The saga that began with The Wrath and the Dawn takes its final turn as Shahrzad risks everything to find her way back to her one true love again.

This is everything I needed and more for the second book of this duology!Ahdieh is so good at pulling you into the magic of her worlds. The storyline of the second book enthralled me so much.I love how the story ended too. I've realized its hard for some authors to finish a book/series well and have it neatly wrapped up. I want more from Ahdieh but dont feel like Ive been cheated out of the story at all.I cannot wait to read more of her works, I have 2 series at the moment of hers I need to start. The Beautiful trilogy and the Flame and the Mist books.
