The Covenant of Shihala - Paperback

Be warned Djinn come in every color and every shade of shadow . . .

"...breakneck in pace and breathtaking in prose," Rose Amber Reviews calls The Fires of Qaf "A stunning new fantasy series."

For ten years, street musician Ayelet has been hiding throughout the Ottoman Empire from the faceless mystical slave master who tormented her childhood. But lost souls long for homes, and when she returns to medieval Turkey she finds herself lingering.

One last performance, one last song. Then she will leave.

But evil never waits, and when Ayelet catches an evil djinn watching her from the back of a crowd, she knows she stayed far too long.

Jahmil Amir, the displaced djinn heir to the throne of the magical land of Shihala, has his own problems. Betrothed to a wretched djinn queen and in search of his mysteriously vanished army of flying snakes, he has no time for music or love. Instead, his heart is consumed with revenge.

When lava giants and bone-crunching ghouls force them together, fate has a different plan for the star-crossed lovers. But while love tempts them both with a promise as beautiful as it is forbidden, the Faceless Man will not be forgotten.

Can Ayelet and Jahmil find a home in each other's arms, or will lovers turn into enemies out of fear and revenge?
