A merchant and a prince trapped in the
crumbling realm of jinn must figure out how to save one world to return
to their own in The Ashfire King, the second book in the Sandsea
Trilogy, perfect for fans of The City of Brass and The Bone Shard
Daughter.
Neither here nor there, but long ago…
After fleeing a patricidal prince, legendary merchant Loulie al-Nazari
and banished prince Mazen bin Malik find themselves in the realm of
jinn. But instead of sanctuary, they find a world on the cusp of
collapse.
The jinn cities, long sheltered beneath the Sandsea by the magic of its
kings, are sinking. Amid the turmoil, political alliances are forming,
and rebellion is on the rise. When Loulie assists a dissenter—one of
her bodyguard’s old comrades—she puts herself in the center of a
centuries-old war.
Trapped in a world that isn’t her own and wielding magic that belongs
to a fallen king, Loulie must decide: Will she carry on someone else’s
legacy or carve out her own?
