Just a day ago I turned twenty-five, and today I’m already standing on the threshold of death.
My name is Eflyal, which translates as “sky-blue,” but my father called me “Lyal,” meaning “deprived of a voice.” I’m an illegitimate child, and I became the subject of a dispute between two powerful families. I was nearly killed, and no one knows what dangers lie ahead. I was looking for protection from my brother, but instead I met Karan and fell in love. Can he keep me safe from the looming threats over my family? In any case, it’s time to uncover the secrets of the past in order to find a path to the future.
