After a thousand years of suffering, a happily ever after can be hard to accept. The Order of the Djinn is growing, and Mira throws herself into the work of freeing others of her kind from their dismal fate. It's easier than facing her painful history. When a magician's black market is discovered to be selling Djinn Blood, Mira's ready to unleash hell on the culprit. But what she finds is far more complicated. The sexy magician with skills even she can't mimic seems to have a heart of gold and a stubborn streak to match. He not only claims that all the blood has been freely given, but he insists that his purpose is the same as hers. Most disconcerting of all is his uncanny ability to see her in a way no one ever has...even herself. When those she loves, and the world itself, hang in the balance, will Mira finally trust her heart despite her haunted past?
