▪️Let me just start by saying that while the author is Lebanese which means his first language isn't English, this book was perfectly written, the narration is gripping, its neither fast nor slow paced just on point! I stayed on edge the whole damn book! I wish the chapters were a bit shorter tho. 

▪️To everyone who’s familiar with my account know that i prefer to read romance, so to give a 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭 & 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 5 stars is a big deal!

▪️The Story takes place in Avas where a naked injured man was found on the streets with no memory (sort of ), he’s out on a quest to learn the truth about who he is and where he came from. But just when things appear to be falling into place, a series of twist and turns comes to view and believe me when i say “ u won’t see it coming “ 

▪️I LOVED The main character ( i wont say his name cz this will spoil a part of the story) he was so smart, cunning and unpredictable. The alternation from the present to the past was so smooth, and the story building was vivid like, the author wanted us to feel as we were living IN the story.

▪️I liked the other characters too, all of them were well developed, each with fascinating backstory, no one of them was irrelevant.

▪️Finally i’m really proud to read this kind of book knowing that its author is a rising Lebanese one.

🖤PS: Its the first book of a series and it ends on a cliffhanger ( A strong one 🤧 )
