All Faris wants is glory on the battlefield. However, everything changes when his father orders him to marry the wrong girl. He knows he has a duty, but why should he give up his dreams? In the end, he's only asked to love, but the price for refusing will indeed be high.

Trapped and cursed as a Djinn, Zet is not free, so when he encounters Akeelah, her offer for freedom and vengeance are too much to resist.

Love is an impossible wish. I was warned about Faris. It was more than his smoldering good looks, his intensity, his dark seductive eyes. He wasn't human. Against my grandfather's warnings, I released him too soon. Faris, the Djinn, the breathtakingly beautiful creature of fire and magic. Now, he wants me, and against my will, I find myself trapped in his seduction, wanting to trust him. Except I can’t. He doesn’t care about me. He’s cursed, a slave, and he thinks I’m the key to his freedom. I’m just a means to an end. Then I find out that Faris has a brother, one who wants him to remain a Djinn slave for all eternity and believes that, by killing me, he will accomplish just that. But I will do anything to stay alive.

Can one love destroy the world? The evil Djinn has been banished, but Marielle’s supposedly happy days are still filled with fear. She feigns a settled appearance but is continually on edge because of Akeelah’s threats of a painful revenge. When Akeelah does reappear, Marielle’s notions of the creature’s cruelty are surpassed. The Djinn is worse than Marielle ever imagined. Akeelah is crazed, ready to cause a deadly chaos, and willing to so whatever it takes to unveil the secrets which will give her power over human souls. During her quest, Akeelah captures Faris, Marielle’s one and only love. They are torn asunder, leaving Marielle on her knees, brokenhearted. Without him, she is not whole. Anger brews slowly within her. The situation is personal now, and she’s not about to sit idle and let her grief win. She will do whatever it takes to get her one love back—even if it means putting the entire human race at risk.

Can one love destroy the world? Marielle and Faris have risked it all for love: their safety, their lives, even humanity itself. Their mistakes are grave and the entire world is paying dearly. Akeelah has created a vicious, half-djinn army and is bent on killing every single human on the planet. Her powers are second only to her hatred. No one is safe, not when the creature’s goal is to rule the physical realm. Only Marielle and Faris know how Akeelah built her army, and only they know how to destroy it. Marielle would rather forget the role she plays in this terrible game. She would rather run away with Faris, never to return—humanity be damned—but who is she kidding? There is no way she can let the evil Djinn win. Marielle’s fate was sealed the day she unwittingly gave Akeelah the answers to her thousand-year-old questions. Now Marielle’s guilt is too heavy to simply walk away. The fate of every citizen on Earth, especially her father, depends on her and the man she loves.
