The gift of magic may be a curse.
After her
desert-transforming wish, Emel follows Saalim to Madinat Almulihi to reclaim
all she has lost. But the seaside city is not what she expected. When she is
tasked with assisting the palace healer, she is faced daily with the reminder
that Saalim―focused only on seeking the revenge of those who killed his
family―does not remember her at all.
Cursing the
magic that destroyed her love and brought her to an unwelcoming city, Emel
regrets her decision to leave her settlement. That is, until she meets Kas.
Though inscrutable, he is the first person to help her forget her past, and the
pull of finding happiness with him tempts her from the life she wished for with
Saalim.
But darkness
waits in the desert, and not all people in Madinat Almulihi are what they seem.
When Emel understands she is entangled in the fate of the city―and of
Saalim―she is faced with the realization that magic may be the most powerful
card in her hand. It might be the only way to save all that she loves, but if
she plays her hand wrong, it could destroy everything.

Exclusive Excerpt:
This excerpt is told
from Saalim’s point of view early in the book. He and Emel are on the palace
balcony.
The wind
whipped up, swirling around us and fluttering the dress around her ankles so
that I could just glimpse that she wore slippers on her feet. No sandals. She
pushed back from the edge with the gust, fear widening her eyes. Her hair was
fashioned similar to my sisters’ who spent far too long with their reflections
twisting their hair and placing it just so. It had seemed like such waste to
use time so frivolously, but seeing Emel with her hair spun around her head and
dress swept down around her like a bird’s plumes made me reconsider. Perhaps it
was not so needless. Another gust of wind and the scarf fell from her
shoulders.
My eyes,
greedy for more, dropped to her shoulder. I paused. Stretching over her skin
were dark scars, shining in the light. The trails of at least five lashes. They
were not the scars of a laborer, someone who had been in a horrible accident.
They were the scars of disobedience, put there intentionally.
I gasped.
What could a daughter of a king have done to warrant the punishment?
She looked
at me suddenly. When she saw my face, her brow furrowed, and she reached up to
her neck, fingers closing over the tapering ends of the scars. Slowly, she
backed away, pulling the scarf tightly over her shoulders, just as my mother
used to do. But my mother was not hiding scars.
“Was it
worth it?” I asked.
Her face
softened. What was she remembering? It wasn’t the pain of the whip, the itch of
the healing wounds. No, she was remembering what she had done to earn them.
“He is,” she
said before she walked away.
