About this listen
Abducted from a land of wealth and privilege, Dae is chained to a slaver's caravan crossing the vast Jaharri desert. It is a strange world of blistering sun, rolling dunes, and wind-carved plains, ruled by the Scion Zafirah Al'Intisar, a powerful and mysterious woman with seductive eyes of sapphire blue.
When Zafirah liberates the caravan the rescue Dae prayed for is not as it seems; Zafirah's carnal appetite is legendary. Dae is taken into Zafirah's harem, a decadent world of excess and sexual freedom. At first, Dae struggles with desires she has never before experienced, but as love and lust collide these two women slowly forge a bond as one learns to listen to her heart, and the other to the call of her awakening body.
Contains mature themes.

In essence, the form of education was quite academic. The women’s words, their methods, it all pointed towards liberation of the mind and body from societal teachings/pressures = patriarchal stifling of women discovering, knowing and mastering their bodies and carnal pleasures. And THAT alone is gold. I appreciated that aspect of the story so much.
The main characters’ relationship building was a little weak for me because it was very much lust centred in the beginning especially for the older one. When courtship ensued and emotions and feelings eventually deepened, I still didn’t feel the depth. The longing and subsequently “love” did not quite hit the mark for me. And this is just me and my opinion.
If there wasn’t a rebellious uprising arc in the background, the story would have collapsed for me (as in I’d lose interest fast). I just couldn’t stand a story with one dimensional focus and especially if the focus is purely on lust. It gets boring. Which is why, I’m glad the author included that side to the story. Although, it would have built up more layers to the narrative if the little side note of an uprising was elaborated. Nonetheless, the little bit that was included was enough to quell my hunger for more substance to the story.
