Hathor thinks she's human, but little does she know that no human could ever see her. Of course not - The Legai, the ancient ones of her kind, would never allow it. It's their most sacred law. When she comes of age, she discovers exactly what she is - a Djinn - and she doesn't like it... not one little bit. Everything would have been fine, if she hadn't already seen Pharaoh Hetep. But how can you be with someone who isn't allowed to see you? If forbidden love isn't bad enough, Hathor discovers that she, herself, is central to the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy - one that is born from a curse, cast by Anpu, designed to eradicate mankind. Hathor has to decide between honoring a sacred law which prevents her from pursuing the great pharaoh, or shattering the damn thing. She must work quickly to unravel the riddles of the curse or risk becoming Anpu's forged weapon, invoked to wipe out all humans - including those she loves. If she allows the pharaoh to see her, he'll be killed. If she gives in to the curse, mankind will be destroyed. Knowledge of an ancient prophecy, a river of Fire, and the inevitable unification of three objects called The Ankhs, sets the world of Humans and Djinn into a race against time!

When Duty Is Love She was never meant to feel. Bound to the earth as a sota, her existence is one of silent vigilance-watching, guarding, and preserving the balance of the world. Her eternal duty is to protect, to serve, and control the process of the earth. Without her, there is no earth, and without earth, there is no her. Love is a human privilege, one she was forbidden to experience... until him. Silas. From the shadows of trees, beneath rippling waters, and high within the whispering skies, she has watched him-drawn to his warmth, his humanity. What begins as curiosity soon grows into something far more dangerous. Something forbidden. As their connection deepens, the fragile balance of the world begins to crack. A connection between divinity and humanity that was never meant to be. In the darkness, Afar-the sota of evil-stirs, growing stronger with every stolen moment, every unspoken feeling. Her distraction is his opportunity. And if she falters, the earth itself may fall into his grasp. Now, she stands at the edge of an impossible choice: Her duty... or her heart. To love Silas is to risk everything she was created to protect. To walk away is to lose the only thing that has ever made her feel alive. She feels she was meant for more, life as a sota despite her powers limits her to nothing but servitude, but life has a human, promises her happiness. In a world where love is a betrayal and duty is a cage, there may be only one way to have both. To rewrite the rules. To rise beyond duty. To become a goddess. But not everything that glitters is gold...and some choices don't just change the world. They destroy it.
