In the hidden desert city of Qalia, secret spice magic awakens affinities in those who drink the misra tea. With an affinity for iron, seventeen-year-old Imani wields a dagger like no other warrior, earning her the reputation as the next greatest Shield in the battle against the dangerous djinn, ghouls, and other monsters that lurk in the sands beyond city limits. Her reputation has been overshadowed, however, by her brother, who tarnished the family name after he was discovered stealing their nation's coveted spice -- a telltale sign of magical obsession. He disappeared soon after and is believed to have died past the Forbidden Wastes, leaving Imani reeling with both betrayal and grief. But when Imani uncovers evidence that her brother may be alive and spreading their nation's magic beyond the desert, she strikes a deal with the Council to find him and bring him back to Qalia before he can reveal the city's location. Accompanied by Qayn, a roguish but handsome djinni, and Taha, a powerful beastseer whose magical talents are matched by his arrogance, she sets off on her mission. Imani will soon discover that many secrets lie beyond the Forbidden Wastes -- and in her own heart -- but will she find her brother before his betrayals endanger the fate of all Qalia? --from publisher.
