More than a year ago, a djinn-created plague nearly wiped out all of humanity... Ever since, Madison Reynolds has been hiding. Leaving her underground sanctuary means risking her life at the hands of vengeful elementals hellbent on killing off the world's few remaining survivors. But when her curiosity and need for exploration get the best of her, she crosses paths with Qadim al-Syan, the new steward of Albuquerque. Despite her better judgment - and her fear of the djinn - she finds herself drawn into his orbit. She knows she must resist her ever-growing attraction for this otherworldly being, who's unlike any man she's ever met. But the pull just might be too great. Will succumbing to her desire mark her for certain death?
