Description
The third book in The Song of Shattered Sands series—an epic fantasy with a desert setting, filled with rich worldbuilding and pulse-pounding action.
Since the Night of Endless Swords, a bloody battle the Kings of Sharakhai narrowly won, the kings have been hounding the rebels known as the Moonless Host. Many have been forced to flee the city, including Çeda, who discovers that the King of Sloth is raising his army to challenge the other kings' rule.
When Çeda finds the remaining members of the Moonless Host, now known as the thirteenth tribe, she sees a tenuous existence. Çeda hatches a plan to return to Sharakhai and free the asirim, the kings' powerful, immortal slaves. The kings, however, have sent their greatest tactician, the King of Swords, to bring Çeda to justice for her crimes.
But the once-unified front of the kings is crumbling. The surviving kings vie quietly against one another, maneuvering for control over Sharakhai. Çeda hopes to use that to her advantage, but whom to trust? Any of them might betray her.
As Çeda works to lift the shackles from the asirim and save the thirteenth tribe, the kings of Sharakhai, the scheming queen of Qaimir, the ruthless blood mage, Hamzakiir, and King of Swords all prepare for a grand clash that may decide the fate of all.

        April 23, 2018
        This whirlwind third Song of Shattered Sands fantasy (after With Blood Upon the Sand) moves at a breathtaking pace through battles and schemes as Çedamihn Ahyanesh’ala and her allies seek to destroy the cruel kings of Sharakhai. The tale begins with Çeda in the desert, accompanied only by Kerim, an asir that she has freed from the kings’ control. The asir are the souls of her lost tribe; they were enslaved and transformed centuries ago into monstrous servants and guardians of the kings, and Çeda is certain that freeing them all is the key to victory. She is quickly captured by Onur, the King of Spears, who is also in the desert, attempting to raise an army to strike against his fellow kings. Other kings plot among themselves, the remnants of the Moonless Host resistance attempt to regroup in the desert, and the queen of Qaimir seeks power for herself. Beaulieu’s worldbuilding is impressive—he fills his creation with detailed history, unique gods, terrifying creatures, and blood magic, nodding to the myths and history of the Middle East and northern Africa while developing extensive original elements. New readers shouldn’t start here, but this is a powerful continuation of a great series.
