Some things are deadly when broken... Sold for the price of a pig, trained into the most expensive male escort in the peninsula, Hasheem, the Silver Sparrow of Azalea, finds himself running from his hard-earned life of privilege when a woman decides to die in his room. Forced to escape through hostile territories belonging to desert warriors, Hasheem runs into Djari, the immovable daughter of a tribal chieftain who offers him protection in exchange for an oath of lifetime servitude. Prophesied by her oracle brother as the one born to end the centuries-long war between her people and an empire, Djari's precarious destiny plunges them both into the blood sport of power, politics, and warfare that exacts heartbreaking sacrifices in exchange for peace.

"Aren't you scared?" Isaiah seemed genuinely floored when I didn't flinch away from him. "Of you?" I scoffed, "No." "You should be," he smirked, "I could snap your pretty little neck anytime, darling." "Get in line, darling." I threw his stupid nickname back in his face. "Why are you even here to begin with? You're nothing more than a tasty snack." He flashed his fangs and took a step towards me. His eyes lingered on me for a second too long. "I'm here to clean up the mess that your family is making all because of some stupid rivalry." "Did you really think we came here for 'some stupid rivalry'?" He took another step. My back hit the counter as he cornered me. "No, we plan to conquer your pathetic little town until there's nothing left of it." "You don't have to kill people for power. You're immortal, what more could you possibly want?" He smirked and I didn't think I'd ever loathed anyone more in my entire life. "Oh darling, you don't know anything."
