A love that was never meant to exist.To save her starving city, Layla al-Nur commits the ultimate sin-she summons a Djinn.The immortal prince who answers her call is Azariel: ancient, powerful, and bound by laws older than humanity itself. In exchange for saving Layla’s people, he claims one year of her life in service at his forbidden desert palace.But Layla soon learns the truth.She is not the first woman bound to Azariel.She is the thirteenth.Each before her was shaped into the image of a wife he refuses to release-even in death.As forbidden desire ignites and palace secrets unravel, Layla discovers that the pact binding her to the Djinn Prince is more than magic-it is a curse born of grief, obsession, and betrayal. And breaking it may cost more than her life.Because Azariel is not just her captor.He may be her only chance to destroy a cycle that has claimed countless women before her.And loving him may be the most dangerous magic of all.
