Více o knize

The raven, crane, and firebird each chose a tribe of man, granting humans heavenly magic, but power led to endless wars and the eventual destruction of both man and birds. In this world where magic is rare and war is common, Khamilla Zahr-zad, the discarded daughter of an emperor, is raised by her mother's nomadic tribe until a violent raid shatters their peace. Amidst the chaos, Khamilla awakens her heavenly magic, gaining the power to wield cosmic light. She transitions from an outsider to a weapon, earning her place in her father's court and training in combat and poisons, pledging loyalty to the throne. Tragedy strikes again when her clansmen are defeated, igniting her thirst for vengeance as she escapes. Alone and hunted, Khamilla infiltrates the enemy's army academy, studying jinn, magic, and martial arts under ruthless mystic monks to dismantle the empire from within. Yet, her studies lead her to question her father's teachings on war and rule. As conflict escalates and twisted magic spreads, Khamilla faces a harrowing choice between revenge and freedom. With beautiful prose and a captivating magic system, the narrative explores rich Islamic culture and raises profound questions about power, choice, and the cost of war.
