Set in an Arabian-inspired land, the story follows Imani, a seventeen-year-old Shield who can wield a dagger like no other due to her affinity for iron. When her brother is discovered stealing their nation's coveted spice and disappears into the Forbidden Wastes, Imani's reputation is in tatters. However, she discovers signs that he may be alive and spreading their nation's magic to outsiders. Accompanied by Taha, a powerful beastseer, 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 book has received rave reviews, with readers praising its strong female protagonist, love vs. duty storyline, betrayals, enemies to lovers, and beautiful writing. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 496 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23 April 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eAMÉLIE WEN ZHAO\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eA gripping fantasy adventure that YA readers are going to love!\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eLYNETTE NONI\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eSoul-stirring\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eLONDON SHAH\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eControl the spice.
