With the heat of a kiss, the walls between Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. And so have both of their lives. Alizeh is destined to free her people from the half-lives they’ve been forced to live under human rule. When Kamran falls in love with her, he is forced to question everything he has been taught about Jinn.

Kamran’s grandfather lies dead at the hand of Cyrus, ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Tulan. Cyrus has stolen Alizeh away to his homeland and plans to marry her there, giving her everything she needs to become the Jinn queen—and when she assumes the throne, he will have fulfilled his own bargain with the devil. Alizeh wants nothing to do with Cyrus’s deal or the devil, but without a way to escape Tulan and with the fulfillment of her own destiny tantalizingly close, she must decide whether she can set aside her emotions to become the queen her people need.

Kamran, meanwhile, is picking up the pieces in Ardunia. Facing betrayal at every turn, he knows only that he must go to Tulan to avenge his grandfather. He can only hope that Alizeh will be waiting for him there—and that she hasn’t yet become the queen of Tulan.
