★ "Once again Abdullah deftly conjures magic." ―Library Journal (starred review)

Neither here nor there, but long ago…

After fleeing a patricidal prince, legendary merchant Loulie al-Nazari and banished prince Mazen bin Malik find themselves in the realm of jinn. But instead of sanctuary, they find a world on the cusp of collapse.

The jinn cities, long sheltered beneath the Sandsea by the magic of its kings, are sinking. Amid the turmoil, political alliances are forming, and rebellion is on the rise. When Loulie assists a dissenter—one of her bodyguard’s old comrades—she puts herself in the center of a centuries-old war.

Trapped in a world that isn’t her own and wielding magic that belongs to a fallen king, Loulie must decide: Will she carry on someone else’s legacy or carve out her own?

A Very Good Sophomore Effort

I really enjoyed this second installment, even though it was stodgy in places, it was fantastic nonetheless. Long live Aisha!

Engaging and fast paced follow up.

Can’t wait for book 3. This was a great expansion on the world building, the lore and the characters. I listened to this in a week. Loved it. Already miss spending time in the jinn world

amazing story

very well structured and amazingly weeded. the ending is brain scrambling and I am eager foe the third book!

I love this book 📖

I honestly don't know what to say. I'm lost for words. I deeply enjoyed a book that keep me entertained and engaged from cover to cover but that ending 😳 😅 👌🏾. I guess I'm going to just have to have to wait till book three 😄 😭😭😭😭. No but for real, the author for this series take us on journey and show us how in story telling so myths have pices of truth in story. I love that aspect in the first book and second book we got to see it expanded on. The flow and ebb of this book is just perfect that when reach our ending I'm heartbroken that the author set up just like last time👌🏾😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣

As good as the first book in the trilogy

I have been waiting for this second book to come out impatiently, but there is always the worry that the unusual storyline of the first would tire out in the second. I think it continues to create an imaginative world and interesting characters. It’s not just adventure with stock characters. It explores the effects of power, envy and compassion on how people act and who they let themselves become.
