In the conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology, Zafira and Nasir race to return the hearts of the Sisters of Old to the minarets of each caliphate before the Lion of Night can seize them and plunge Arawiya into permanent darkness. Nasir struggles to command the blood magic awakened on Sharr while Zafira fights the corrupting influence of the Jawarat — a sentient book that speaks in dangerous voices.
