It started as playful, if barbed, banter before rising to a fateful wager with a most notorious rake—the Captain of the Guard, Jalal al-Khoury—who may have finally met his match in a lovely, if haughty, handmaiden, Despina. But she, too, seems to have met her match in the handsome Jalal. What begins as a tempestuous battle of will and wit in short order becomes a passionate affair spurred on by tragedy of the worst kind.

I was a huge fan of Jalal in the books and was very interested in knowing more about his relationship with Despina. So, I have to say that I am surprised that the author has been able to convey so many feelings in such a short story. The light hearted moments, the blossoming of love and the circumstances in which they get together are so beautifully written that I just wanted to read more. I just wish that Renee Ahdieh never writes short stories because even though the too few pages convey all the feelings, its just not enough to satisfy my heart.
