Mehr is an Amrithi, an outcast nomad descended from desert spirits. Hidden as a noble woman she finds herself under the scrutinous eye of the Maha after being caught dancing a storm away. Forced into a marriage to Amun she is expected to take part of the burden of his vows and protect the empire.
 
I found this book lacking. The plot moves slowly and not a lot happens. It is very straightforward with minimal character development or intrigue. I found this read mostly disappointing. But I will try her other series. 2/5
