Ancient Egypt. Nefret, a fisherman's daughter, is claimed by a prince and locked inside a golden life she never chose. When a dented old lamp wakes in her chamber, its spirit offers her the whole world. She asks for stories instead - and night by night, the girl in the cage and the prisoner in the lamp begin to free each other.
Then she spends her only wish - and it is the wish that is never wished.
A thousand years later. Layan lives inside a softer cage: a family whose love is a locked door. She doesn't know about the promise made over a grave by the Nile. She doesn't know about the quiet man who has guarded her bloodline for forty generations. And she doesn't know that a paper signed when she was five years old hides a clause in its quiet language - one that only her own hand can ever turn.
She is about to find the door of her life. It will look like the worst thing. Everyone will say so.
She is going to go anyway.
A sweeping tale of magic, freedom, and a love that refused to die - for readers who loved the enchantment of The Night Circus, the romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the timeless spell of One Thousand and One Nights, turned upside down.
Some debts are not paid. They are kept.
