Sixteen-year-old Zarin Wadia is many things: an Indian girl, a
bright and vivacious student, an orphan, a troublemaker whose
romantic entanglements are the subject of endless gossip among the
girls in her school. 'You don't want to get involved with a girl
like that,' they say. So how is it that Porus, a Parsi boy, has
only ever had eyes for her? And how did Zarin and Porus end up dead
in a car together, crashed on the side of the highway in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia? When the religious police arrive, everything everyone
thought they knew about Zarin is called into question.
In the concluding installment to the Wrath of Ambar duology from
masterful author Tanaz Bhathena, Gul and Cavas must unite their
magical forces--and hold onto their growing romance--to save their
kingdom from tyranny. With King Lohar dead and a usurper queen in
power, Gul and Cavas face a new tyrannical government that is bent
on killing them both. Their roles in King Lohar's death have not
gone unnoticed, and the new queen is out for blood. What she
doesn't know is that Gul and Cavas have a connection that runs
deeper than romance, and together, they just might have the
strength and magic to end her for good. Then a grave mistake ends
with Cavas taken prisoner by the government. Gul must train an army
of warriors alone. With alliances shifting and the thirst for
vengeance growing, the fate of Ambar seems ever more uncertain. It
will take every ounce of strength, love, and sacrifice for Gul and
Cavas to reach their final goal--and build a more just world than
they've ever known.
Susan is the new girl - she's sharp and driven, and strives to meet
her parents' expectations of excellence. Malcolm is the bad boy -
he started raising hell at age fifteen, after his mum died of
cancer, and has had a reputation ever since. Susan's parents are on
the verge of divorce. Malcolm's dad is a known adulterer. Susan
hasn't told anyone, but she wants to be an artist. Malcolm doesn't
know what he wants - until he meets her. Love is messy and families
are messier, but in spite of their burdens, Susan and Malcolm fall
for each other. The ways they drift apart and come back together
are testaments to family, culture, and being true to who you are.
