About herself and life. About family and blood and tradition and duty. About love. Noor might be alive, she might be dead, or terribly wounded, and whichever it was, she, Jalia, could do nothing to change her cousin’s fate. Life was short and so precious, and was she going to live hers without love? Was she going to run from the challenge life was offering her—the challenge to do some real good in the world? The challenge to love and be loved from the most passionate depths of her soul, and another’s? She had two countries—the land of her birth, and the land of her ancestors, her blood. Each called to her, but only one really needed her. Needed everything that she was and would be. Needed her heart, her mind, her love, her education, her commitment, the life she would live, the children she would have. In return it offered her its rich history, its beauty, a deep sense of blood connection and belonging, and the heart of a strong, noble lover, a one-of-a-kind man—if she could win him back.
