Description

A poison arrow. A prophecy of two sisters. A journey into the heart of the resistance.

While Isika is preparing for her future role with the Maweel, members of the Karee tribe come to ask for help with the problem of masses of disappearing people. Meanwhile, Aria grows weaker daily from the poison arrow lodged inside her, and time seems to be growing short. 

A disturbing Karee prophecy might contain more answers, and as Aria is pulled deeper into the Desert King’s trap, Isika races to find a healer who might be able to save her sister. In the most dangerous places, she finds more help than she expected, and the group of friends grows and changes as the Resistance enfolds them all. 

Isika has resisted the power of the Desert King, but will Aria fall under his sway?

    I couldn’t wait to get book 4, and devoured it. A heavier read, with more darkness and pain. This series also brings so much hope and joy though, as the characters are looking to Nenyi and learning in their lives. There is such good allegory in this series, to compare the characters and their experiences to our lives. The characters are real and flawed and beautiful, and you can see them growing up as the books develop. Can’t wait for the next one!

    Book 4 does not disappoint! Have been waiting since I finished book 3 to learn what will happen between Isika and Aria, and how their friends and family will help. I love the characters in this series, and the imagery and metaphors Ford uses. Betrayal is a powerful poison in the real world too; it helps to be reminded of our need for love and light and joy. Thank you, Rachel. Life is better with beautifully written books in it!!
