From #1 New York Times bestselling author Hafsah Faizal comes the untold origin story of Agrabah’s future royal vizier Jafar and his brother Rohan.
Before Jafar became Agrabah’s grand vizier, there were two brothers wishing for a different life.
Living in the shadow of their mother’s death and their father’s cruel whims, Jafar only longs to protect one person--his soft-hearted younger brother, Rohan. But Jafar knows he is destined for more, and if he has his way, he’ll soon be an apprentice at Maghriz’s elite House of Wisdom, studying alchemy.
Then a fire destroys the remains of their shattered life, and Jafar has no choice but to resort to ruses and trickery, including convincing Rohan that the House of Wisdom is their only chance at rebuilding their lives. But Maghriz holds more danger and intrigue than either brother can imagine. Its powerful Sultana is plotting a grand deception that could shape the nation’s future, and she believes the brothers are the missing piece of her scheme.
For the first time, Jafar can envision a future where he puts his own desires before Rohan’s--and Rohan feels ready to escape his brother’s shadow. As the brothers contend with their darkest impulses, they must decide: is their ambition worth their brotherhood?
