"A bladesmith with the power of the stars in her blood and a prince with a dangerous secret
will fight to save their kingdom in this spicy and spellbinding romantasy inspired by Persian
and Indian mythology-perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Thea Guanzon. To save the realm
from eternal darkness she'll have to choose between the truth and the lie-stand and fight or
kneel and die. "His Imperial Majesty King Zarek requests your presence as his esteemed guest."
When the gold-dusted court invitation arrives at Suraya Saab's forge she believes it's a joke.
Nobles might seek her skills as a bladesmith-one of few who can imbue her work with precious
jadu the last source of magic in the realm-but she has no qualifications as a potential bride
for the crown prince. Still the invitation is the chance at adventure and the means to
finally visit the capital city her late mother loved. But what awaits her in Kaldari is nothing
she could have imagined-and fraught with danger. It's not the crown prince but his impossibly
handsome illegitimate half-brother Roshan who draws her interest...and her ire. The
invitation isn't a quest to find a suitable bride but a veiled hunt for the starbringer-a girl
rumored to hold the magic of the stars in her blood. And across the city unrest is brewing
between the noble houses and the rebel militia. When the rebels carry out a brutal strike
Suraya and Roshan find themselves on the run trying to deny their simmering attraction and the
knowledge that Suraya herself might be the starbringer. But Roshan is hiding secrets of his
own. And with no control of the power that seems to be stirring within her Suraya has drawn
the attention of the old gods themselves...and the interest of one dark god in particular might
be the biggest threat of all"--
