About this listen
Murder. Secrets. Sacrifice.
Anoor is the first blue-blooded ruler of the Wardens’ Empire. When she is accused of a murder she didn’t commit, she must solve the mystery to save her reign.
Her beloved, Sylah, braves new lands to find a solution for the hurricane that threatens to destroy her home. But should she sacrifice her old life to raise her sword once more?
The spy, Hassa, finds herself on a trail of crimes in the city. Her search uncovers the true extent of the empire’s atrocities.
The three women find their answers – but at what cost to their world?

And this is how you write a middle book. following on from the events of The Final Strife, Sylah searches for aid in foreign lands, Anoor is accused of murder and has to find out who really committed the crime and a strange and terrible power gains influence in the Warden's Empire.
- The character progression in this book is extremely well done. El-Arifi builds on previous events and writes people in such an authentic way, acknowledging their trauma and how events have affected the characters. I also love the interactions and relationships that develop through this.
- This is a book of adventure and discovery. There's so much that is new and exciting. I described the book to a friend as like an open world video game with an amazing plotline. I enjoyed the main story but equally I wanted to roam around and learn more about this vibrant and nuanced world. This just attests to the author's amazing world building.
- The magic system was developed a lot through this book, both in complexity and how horrifying it became. I think the concept of sacrifice is excellent as it provides terrible, terrible balance to what would otherwise be horrendously overpowered magic.
I need the third book yesterday and am not sure how I will wait until August. I most definitely recommend this series to any fantasy lover.
