This duology closer returns to fictional Marghazar, a beautifully laid out world influenced by Islamic and Pakistani cultures, to reveal the fate of Asfandyar and the outcome of Durkhanai’s decision. After making him choose between two doors, one of which leads to betrothal and one to a fatal attack by a lion, Durkhanai is driven to despair as Asfandyar, her forbidden love, is sent to marry her cousin. As a result, she loses not only his trust, but that of her family as well. When Durkhanai receives shocking news about her father, she is once again faced with a choice. Instead of being a pawn, Durkhanai realizes she must take matters into her own hands to ensure that everything and everyone she loves is protected. Qureshi pulls readers back into her culturally rich kingdom in which characters mature and develop through many emotional twists. The diversity and inclusivity of the first entry are continued and extended here. The action-oriented plot has a faster pace than the first novel, with lots of surprises as readers watch Durkhanai blossom into being the leader she was born to be.
