He is the future sultan, a man who wields brutal magic and only knows how to be what they’ve made him. She is a commoner, a woman who champions the vulnerable and treads where she does not belong.

Dilay Akar is the daughter of a judge. By day, she trains the wealthy in magic, and by night, she breaks the Sultan’s laws. But even those closest to her do not always appreciate what she is striving for, or believe that she can achieve it.

Omar Sabri is the Sultan’s tool, flaying minds open to obtain their secrets and truths. Everyone who looks at him sees only the prince—or the monster. Even he cannot see the man beneath the power and the position.

When Omar secretly enlists Dilay’s help in controlling his magic, it sets off a chain of events that will reshape Tamar for generations to come. Dilay will have to choose between the familiar and the powerful; between people she cares for, and whether to hurt one to help many.

The Wheel turns for balance in all things, and where love springs, may also spring hate.

Fabulous narration as always. I was hesitant about approaching this book as I thought it might be a history lesson of sorts, but it gives a lovely context of what is to come while being a really beautiful love story at the same time. This is a fantastic series and I would urge everyone to read it.

Beautiful story that gives context to the rest of the series

An incredible prequel to the Mages of the Wheel Series, it brought a whole new layer of depth to the books that came before and I can’t wait to re-read them all with the knowledge of how the characters came to be. As always with this series, the politics, the magic, the tension, the romance…all five star. Very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

An Emotional Full Circle Moment

I couldn't put this down. I love the romance in this one! Behram is a terrific antagonist in the other books, and it's interesting to see his origins from these two main characters' perspectives. This book is a study on our choices and how they define us. Evans really understands how people become who they are, because of or despite how they were raised. Evans has great empathy for her characters.

Great narration, interesting characters.

But I still enjoyed it I think. I adore this author but the plot for this was predictable and the ending felt super rushed and didn’t really make sense with how it worked out. Good to get the backstory on Cadeer though.

Not as good as the first book
