2016

by RenΓ©e Ahdieh

The Moth & the Flame, a short story set in the world of A Wrath & the Dawn, begins with a playful exchange of barbed wit between two striking characters: the Captain of the Guard, Jalal al-Khoury, and a haughty handmaiden, Despina. As their interaction escalates into a fateful wager, it becomes clear that Jalal may have met his match in Despina, who is equally entranced by the dashing Jalal.

Their initial tempestuous battle of wills soon transforms into a passionate affair, which is unexpectedly deepened by a tragic turn of events. This narrative is a poignant exploration of love's complexity, set against a rich backdrop that fans of the series will find deeply engaging.
