The Rose & The Dagger by Renée Ahdieh

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. {goodreads summary}

Three things I loved about The Rose & The Dagger: 

1. The writing is rich with imagery and beautiful pieces of description. 

2. It is a brilliant example of how to switch between multiple third person perspectives. Every character has a distinct voice and feel, even though the story isn't written in first person.

3. It was a satisfying, adventure packed ending to a series I have loved reading.
