Nocturne, a wilderness of eternal night.
Solis, a wasteland of endless day.
Nazafareen is a Breaker, a mortal who has the rare ability to shatter spell magic-although her power carries a high price. With the memories of her former self erased and nowhere else to turn, she comes to Nocturne hoping to start a new life under the triple moons of the darklands.
But when an assassin forces Nazafareen to flee to the sunlit mortal city of Delphi, she finds herself embroiled in a deeper mystery whose origins lie far in the past. Why was the continent sundered into light and dark a thousand years before? And what really happened to the elegant but ruthless creatures who nearly reduced the world to ashes? The new Oracle might know, but she's outlawed magic and executes anyone caught practicing it. Nazafareen must hide her powers and find a way out of the city-before it's too late.
As the net slowly tightens, something ancient and vengeful begins to stir in the arid death zone called the Kiln. A dashing daeva named Darius is pursuing Nazafareen, but so are a multitude of enemies. War is brewing again. Can she stay alive long enough to stop it?
So begins the first installment in an epic new fantasy series from the author of the Fourth Element Trilogy!
My Review:
A young girl Nazafareen has lost her memories and only knows what her friend Darius has told her. Nazafareen likes Darius a lot and wants to be with him forever but when someone comes to Nocturne to kill her and Darius is attacked and left in a coma. The men that attack them tell Nazafareen that they either kill her or they all die. In order to safe Darius and the people of Nocturne Nazafareen decides that it is time to leave.
Nazafareen hides away on a wind ship that can take her far away. When a storm hits the wind ship crashes and leaves Nazafareen and Javid, the captain of the wind ship stranded in the middle of nowhere. After traveling for days they end up in a very bad place, the city of Delphi.
Nazafareen and Javid have to step lightly in Delphi as magic is forbidden there and punishable by law there. Although Nazafareen has no magic as far as she can remember she does have this wicked temper that has been known to get her in trouble on occasion. They have to find the means and the money to escape Delphi before they end up in trouble. Can Nazafareen stay out of trouble long enough to get them where they are going?
It has been epic following Nazafareen and Javid on their journey trying to reach their destination. Nazafareen and Javid squabble like brother and sister I enjoyed their little arguments if you want to call them that. When reading Nocturne and I had to put it down I couldn't wait to get back to it so I could to see what happened and how it all ended.
I would recommend Nocturne to anyone who likes mythology, magic and a fantasy.
