Publisher Description

WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, LIBRARY JOURNAL, BOOKLIST, AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

A ruthless princess and a powerful priestess come together to rewrite the fate of an empire in this “fiercely and unapologetically feminist tale of endurance and revolution set against a gorgeous, unique magical world” (S. A. Chakraborty, author of the The City of Brass).


Exiled by her despotic brother, princess Malini spends her days dreaming of vengeance while imprisoned in the Hirana: an ancient cliffside temple that was once the revered source of the magical deathless waters but is now little more than a decaying ruin.
 
The secrets of the Hirana call to Priya. But in order to keep the truth of her past safely hidden, she works as a servant in the loathed regent’s household and cleaning Malini’s chambers.
 
When Malini witnesses Priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. One is a ruthless princess seeking to steal a throne. The other a powerful priestess desperate to save her family. Together, they will set an empire ablaze.

Long time searching ,

Gorgeous, golden world of blood and fire

Loved the complex religious and political system, detailed worldbuilding, and incredibly vivid descriptions of the deathless waters and what happens to those who enter them. The beginning of a romance between two incredibly powerful people caught in a war where neither can be free of responsibility or act only in the ways they would choose was wonderful and hope for more of it in the next books.

Chantootle ,

Wonderful read!

Beautifully built world. Wonderfully strong and smart characters. Really loved the depth of the characters. The way the world was built with the gods and religions adds so much to the story and is woven is so well. Would recommend it 100%
