Synopsis:
A nobleman's daughter with magic in her blood. An empire built on the dreams of enslaved gods. Tasha Suri's captivating debut is perfect for readers of City of Brass and The Wrath & the Dawn.
The Amrithi are outcasts; nomads descended of desert spirits, they are coveted and persecuted throughout the Empire for the power in their blood. Mehr is the illegitimate daughter of an imperial governor and an exiled Amrithi mother she can barely remember, but whose face and magic she has inherited. Unbeknownst to her, she can manipulate the dreams of the gods to alter the face of the world.
When Mehr's power comes to the attention of the Emperor's most feared mystics, she is coerced into their service, as they are determined to harness her magic for the glory of the Empire. She must use every ounce of will, subtlety, and power she possesses to resist the mystics' cruel agenda -- and should she fail, the gods themselves may awaken seeking vengeance...
How amazing does this book sound???? I'm so shook. "An empire built on the dreams of enslaved gods" um. HELLOOOOO. If you haven't realized by now, I'm trash for stories and books about gods in fantasy and the way they factor into the worlds that are created in fantasy novels. Will there be a post in the future of me gushing about history and religion in fantasy?? Maybe.
Anyways, this book sounds so fantastic and I can't wait to read this book! The synopsis calls to my fantasy loving soul so much omg.
Happy Reading!
