Zara Nedal is blind, yet through her magic, she can make stunning pieces of jewelry. In order to sell them, she must travel to Suridesh, but only a caravan prince can take her. And only one caravan prince will do--the Falcon.
Khalil Dehriq has had his eye on Zara for three cycles. It's been a long time since he's taken a lover, but she cannot see the horrible scars that mar his body. Khalil isn't sure if that's a blessing--or a curse.
As they ride the dunes, their passion heats the night and ignites their hearts. But the witch called Mother has different plans, and vows to kill Khalil at any cost. The only hope to save his throne is to conceive an heir, and now the Falcon must decide if Zara's love is enough to heal his tortured soul.
