Goodreads description--In this shocking finale to the instant Sunday Times bestseller Spice Road, Imani, Taha, and Qayn are forced to face lingering ghosts as they venture into the nightmarish landscape of the monster’s realm to protect their land once and for all. A daring fantasy adventure for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes.

New monsters have appeared outside the kingdom of Qalia, roaming the desert and spreading into the Sahir, ruthless and hungry in their attacks. No matter how much Imani and Qayn battle the monsters outside the city walls, it has become clear that combat will not be enough to stop the onslaught taking over their land.

To Imani’s surprise, Qayn determines that there is only one way for them to find a they must venture to the home of the monsters themselves.

Voyaging into the realm of the monsters might be Imani’s most dangerous undertaking yet, but she would never let Qayn go in alone. As Imani, Taha, and their group navigate the nightmarish path before them, Imani must come to terms with the shocking reality of her world and confront a dangerously tempting power that could destroy them all.
