With the fiery passion of a kiss, the barriers separating Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. Along with them, their lives have been irreversibly altered.
Alizeh, destined to lead her Jinn people out of the half-lives they’ve endured under human rule, finds herself the object of Kamran’s affection. His love for her forces him to question everything he has been taught about the Jinn.
Kamran’s grandfather has been slain by Cyrus, the ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Tulan. Cyrus has spirited Alizeh away to his homeland with the intent of marrying her, which would grant her the power to become the Jinn queen. In doing so, he aims to fulfill his own dark pact.
Alizeh vehemently rejects Cyrus’s proposal and the sinister bargain associated with it. Yet, trapped in Tulan without a means of escape and her own destiny tantalizingly within reach, she faces a crucial decision: can she set aside her emotions to become the queen her people desperately need?
Meanwhile, Kamran endeavors to pick up the pieces in Ardunia. Surrounded by betrayal, his only certainty is the necessity of traveling to Tulan to avenge his grandfather. He can only hope that Alizeh will be there, and that she has not yet ascended to the throne of Tulan.
