What this book is about
The conclusion to The Wrath and the Dawn duology. Shahrzad is separated from Khalid as war tears their world apart. She must rely on her own magic and wit — and learn the truth about the curse that made Khalid the Caliph of Khorasan. Renée Ahdieh's lush, sensory Persian-inspired world concludes in a satisfying arc of love, sacrifice, and magic that rewards readers of the first volume.
