Get swept away by the sequel to the instant Sunday Times bestseller Spice Road! In this
romantic action-packed fantasy set in an Arabian-inspired land Imani and Taha must save their
home from an invasion after the magical enchantment that hid them from the world is defeated.
Imani is a magic-wielding warrior sworn to protect her land from the monsters that roam the
desert. But an even worse enemy now threatens the Sahir. As the powerful Harrowlanders march
south with their greatest weapon—spice magic—Imani knows it’s only a matter of time before
their invasion of her land begins . . . and it will be a losing battle for her people. But
Imani also knows that one way to fight magic is with monsters. If she can restore Qayn’s stolen
powers together they can summon a supernatural army to defend the Sahir from the
Harrowlanders. Forming an alliance with a djinni king is risky but Imani will do anything to
save her people even embarking on a dangerous quest beyond the sands to find the magical
jewels of Qayn’s lost crown. As Imani journeys far from home she will discover monsters that
warriors have only heard about in myths . . . monsters that can strike at any moment. Meanwhile
her rival Taha has been captured and is on a dangerous mission of his own. One wrong move
could cost them their lives—and everyone they love. But they may find that there is more than
meets the eye crossing the Serpent Sea . . . and betrayal cuts deeper than any dagger. In this
richly imagined Arabian-inspired fantasy told from a riveting dual perspective critically
acclaimed author Maiya Ibrahim dives into the complexities of love and war.
