Dark and magical this book was filled with Middle Eastern characters, myths and magic. Zafira the hunter kills to help others live, while nasir the prince is an assassin so people die because he lives.
When the mysterious silver witch turns up and serves a quest to save the magic that was lost when the six sisters of old fell. Journeying across the deserts and fighting monsters and darkness brings this unlikely group together with truths unexpected revealed along the way.
The family links had me in shock as I saw none of them coming at all, as well as what seems to be a slow forming romance between our MCs. I can’t wait to see how this ends in the sequel of the duology.

While this got a bit trope-y at times (eyes are always CRASHING into each other), and there were too many elaborate family reveals , I overall enjoyed this. It lives up to the enemies to lovers hype. Maybe not the found family hype but I think they just need more time.
