The battle on Sharr is over. The dark forest has fallen. Altair may be captive, but Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are bound for Sultan's Keep, determined to finish the plan he set in motion: restoring the hearts of the Sisters of Old to the minarets of each caliphate, and finally returning magic to all of Arawiya. Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood; he must learn to hone his power into a weapon. Zafira battles a darkness festering in her through her bond with the Jawarat; it hums with voices, pushing her to the brink of her sanity. Time is running out, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made.
