Synopsis
I am surrounded on all sides by a desert. A guest, in a prison of sand and sun. My family is here. And I do not know whom I can trust.
In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad has been torn from the love of her husband Khalid, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once believed him a monster, but his secrets revealed a man tormented by guilt and a powerful curse—one that might keep them apart forever. Reunited with her family, who have taken refuge with enemies of Khalid, and Tariq, her childhood sweetheart, she should be happy. But Tariq now commands forces set on destroying Khalid's empire. Shahrzad is almost a prisoner caught between loyalties to people she loves. But she refuses to be a pawn and devises a plan.
While her father, Jahandar, continues to play with magical forces he doesn't yet understand, Shahrzad tries to uncover powers that may lie dormant within her. With the help of a tattered old carpet and a tempestuous but sage young man, Shahrzad will attempt to break the curse and reunite with her one true love.

Une Shazi beaucoup plus arrogante, hautaine et égoïste que dans le tome 1, c'était vraiment pénible ! 300 pages de quasi-remplissage, pour tout précipiter en 100 pages final. Dommage, pas mal de bonnes idées quand même, mais mal exploités, ou trop peu :( Coup de cœur pour Artan par contre ! J'aurais aimé en apprendre plus sur "sa famille". Je reste sur ma faim concernant cette duologie.
Une belle conclusion avec sa part de joie et de larmes.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié les personnages, tous touchants et courageux.
