Backlist Shelf Control: The Rose and the Dagger by Renée Ahdieh

Backlist Shelf Control is a new weekly feature hosted by The Reading Faery that will run on Fridays, which is dedicated to sharing backlist books that have been on your TBR for too long. Each week, you talk about a backlist book (any book published 2018 or earlier) that you're excited to read and why you want to read it. If you participate, feel free to comment on my post and share your link, so that I can check out your post!

by Renée Ahdieh
Publisher: Speak
Publication Date: April 4, 2017
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Synopsis:

The darker the sky, the brighter the stars.

In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once thought Khalid a monster—a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain—but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever.

Now she’s reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid—a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi’s spurned childhood sweetheart. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive.

The saga that began with The Wrath and the Dawn takes its final turn as Shahrzad risks everything to find her way back to her one true love again.

Why I want to read it:
I read the first book years ago, and loved it. For some stupid reason I never read the sequel, but I really found the first book unique and original and I loved it. I loved Shahrzad and I loved the plot, and I keep thinking I need to read this one, and I keep forgetting about it. But I really want to know how things end for Shahrzad and Khalid.

Let's chat! What backlist books are you hoping to finally read this year?
