She freed the genie. He bound himself to her. And now the world wants their wish... or her life. When eighteen-year-old Amara finds a forbidden lamp buried beneath a collapsing desert shrine, she expects treasure-not a dangerously beautiful genie with eyes like molten gold and a voice that sounds like temptation itself. Jafir, last of the Fallen Djinn, has waited centuries for someone worthy to break his curse. But the moment Amara touches the lamp, the bond forms-ancient, unbreakable, and far more intimate than either of them expects. Her heartbeat becomes his tether. Her safety becomes his obsession. But granting her three wishes comes with consequences. Every wish awakens another group of hunters: sorcerers, kings, demons, and those who want the genie's power... even if it means killing Amara to get it. Now bound by magic and desire, Amara must choose carefully: wish for freedom and sever their bond- or risk everything for the ancient, forbidden love growing between them. Because the genie she freed is willing to burn kingdoms for her. And the world has just discovered she holds the most powerful weapon alive. A romantic, dangerous, addictive fantasy where one girl's choices can reshape fate... and awaken a genie who would destroy heaven and earth to protect her.

In Kaeltharion, the Prolonged ruled from ancient towers while the Brief struggled to survive beneath them.

He had been born into power and raised to believe the world belonged to people like him. Beautiful, influential, and gifted with the ability to control the minds of others, he had never been denied anything. Until Cimmeria. She did not worship him. She did not fear him enough.

What began as unwanted fascination slowly became something darker, drawing them into a dangerous world where obsession could disguise itself as devotion and power could become its own form of imprisonment.
