ONE UNLUCKY THIEF. ONE UNLIKELY GENIE. ONE VERY ODD COUPLE. Gavyn Donatti is the world's unluckiest thief. Just ask all the partners he's lost over the years. And when he misplaces an irreplaceable item he was hired to steal for his ruthless employer, Trevor—well, his latest bungle just might be his last. But then his luck finally turns: right when Trevor's thugs have him cornered, a djinn, otherwise known as a genie, appears to save him. Unfortunately, this genie—who goes by the very non-magical name of "Ian"—is more Hellboy than dream girl. An overgrown and extremely surly man who seems to hate Donatti on the spot, he may call Donatti master, but he isn't interested in granting three wishes. He informs Donatti that he is bound to help the thief fulfill his life's purpose, and then he will be free. The problem is that neither Donatti nor Ian has any idea what exactly that purpose is. At first Donatti's too concerned with his own survival to look a gift genie in the mouth, but when his ex-girlfriend Jazz and her young son get drawn into the crossfire, the stakes skyrocket. And when Ian reveals that he has an agenda of his own—with both Donatti and the murderous Trevor at the center of it—Donatti will have to become the man he never knew he could be, or the entire world could pay the price...

Getaway driver Jazz and ex-thief Donatti are out for a romantic weekend. But they’re lost in the mountains, and something magical is going on—and dangerous. And for once, it’s not Donatti's fault. A story connected to Sonya Bateman’s urban fantasy djinn series that begins with Master of None. Includes a chapter from Master of None and an exclusive peek at the sequel Master and Apprentice.

A DEADLY CULT. AN UNBREAKABLE CURSE. THE RULES ARE LEARN TO KILL . . . OR DIE. Luck has never been on Gavyn Donatti’s side. Anyone else with magic abilities inherited from a distant genie relative would have it made, but not Donatti, descendant of a cranky, shape-shifting genie named Ian. The prince of a murdered kingdom, consumed with revenge and driven by an unbreakable curse, Ian is determined to hunt down and destroy every last one of his enemies in the power-hungry snake clan—at any cost, including his life. Or Donatti’s. Obsessed by his own rage, Ian has never really taught Donatti how to use his abilities. So when a powerful cult of magic-users captures Ian’s wife, the princess Akila, and then Ian himself, Donatti is left alone to take on dozens of half-djinn and their mysterious leader with designs on world domination. Facing an impossible mission, Donatti is forced to turn to an enemy for help—one who claims to know how to unlock his true potential. Trusting a snake might be the last mistake Donatti ever makes—but if he doesn’t learn to wield the power inside him, everyone will pay the ultimate price.

In a frozen wasteland, no one can hear you die. Part-djinn and mostly reformed thief Gavyn Donatti has learned a thing or two about magic in the years since he met Ian, his shape-shifting genie ancestor who enjoys slaughtering his enemies and definitely not being called a genie, if you value your life. Their unlikely partnership has even saved humanity a few times. Not that they're counting. But their latest challenge is a whole new world from anything they've faced before. When Donatti and Ian receive a message from a long-lost djinn clan asking for help, they head to the remote mountains of Alaska and a mysterious, never-ending storm. There, they discover two lost clans who've been feuding for centuries, imprisoned inside the storm—but the clans aren't alone. An ancient monster is terrorizing the population, enjoying its own captive, all-you-can-eat djinn buffet. Thrust into the conflict without any warning, Donatti and Ian are just as trapped as the rival clans. Now they have to find a way to stop the djinn-fighting, force the Annukhai and the Alqani to work together, and destroy a mythical, immortal creature that isn't supposed to exist ... before they become the monster's next meal. MASTER OF ELEMENTS is book three in the Gavyn Donatti series, following MASTER OF NONE and MASTER AND APPRENTICE.
