Zuhra and Inara's father was one of the Paladins, but he disappeared on the night Inara was born, breaking their mother's heart. There is also a secret gateway/ portal between two worlds through which various monsters can creep into the human world, but which was also the way Paladins (magic warriors) came in to protect us. There is a semi-abandoned Citadel, and a mysterious hedge that keeps the sisters ZUhra and Inara, their mother and their caretaker Sami in, either protecting or imrisoning them within the Citadel's boundaries. It has a wonderful, original magic system, a gripping plot, and, above all, it is about sisters whose bond is stronger than any kind of spell. I was hooked from the very line: "The night my sister was born, the stars died and were reborn in her eyes…" and literally couldn't stop until I finished it.
