The Eternal Curse

About this book

Between ash and magic.. is love enough to break the shackle of eternity? In the city of "Khayal," resembling its name in nothing, where the earth broke and life forsook it, lives Zahraa alone amid memories of empty houses and a heart wrapped in grief. She did not know that her face passing calmly through the rose garden carries the features of a queen who ruled then vanished, and that her fate hangs on a curse forged by blood and treason centuries ago. Between the folds of a mysterious black book in which the symbol of "the sword" appears, truths begin to unfold; for Zahraa is no mere ordinary girl, but the last bet to undo the curse of Queen Nermeen who devastated the kingdom of the sun and turned the life of leader Saif into a wretched immortality, facing loss after loss with no hope of death or survival. Souls intertangle in a feverish struggle between vengeance and sacrifice, when the departed queen's spirit decides to dwell her lookalike's body to face her killer face to face. Will Zahraa surrender to fate's game and marry Saif the killer as the curse demands? Or does magic have laws.
