Layla-226
Seventy years have passed since the Sultana of Kahvar banished the Jinns, immortal beings made of scorched fire, to a desert after a great war.
Ahsan has lived his entire life knowing he is half Jinn, the bastard son of the Sultana who banished the immortals, a last reminder to his mother of the mistakes she once made. And he has done everything in his power to change the Sultana's opinion about himself, though he never succeeded.
Returned after being tortured by soldiers of a dangerous tyrant who has set his eyes on Kahvar, Ahsan meets Janan, a runaway Jinn. He knows he should surrender Janan to his mother, inform the Sultana that a Jinn walks freely in her city. But, when Janan offers Ahsan to teach him how to control his magic, everything changes.
With a secret that could be the weapon responsible for her death, Janan fled the desert in despair. But, now, her plans have changed. In an attempt to save herself, she is forced into a deal with a man she has never been able to understand, no matter how many rumours the wind brought to her people. However, she soon realises that Ahsan might be the only one who could convince the Sultana to lift her people's banishment, though convincing him to do it might prove to be her greatest challenge yet.
Thrown together by despair and a foolish hope, Ahsan and Janan must help each other in order to save themselves. With the threat of a conquering Empire looming over their heads and ancient feuds buried by the sands of time, as a hesitant partnership turns into somethings deeper, something that might burn them both, Ahsan and Janan need to decide who they will fight for before they lose everything they are.
Or if their love is worth throwing all they've ever fought for into the fire.
