What this book is about
The conclusion to the Wrath and the Dawn duology finds Shahrzad separated from Khalid and caught between the rebel forces of her childhood love Tariq and the court she has come to call home. The curse's true origin is finally revealed, and breaking it requires a sacrifice that changes everything. Renée Ahdieh brings her lush, romantic YA fantasy to a satisfying conclusion with the same gorgeous prose and slow-burn intensity that defined the first book.
