Synopsis
Yara Vehr has exactly twenty-eight days left to live. A fatal curse is winding its way toward her heart, and the only way to exact her final vengeance is to steal a legend. As Mehrazad’s most skilled thief, breaking into the Sultan’s impenetrable treasury is child's play. But the prize she takes—an ancient bronze lamp—contains a prisoner far more dangerous than any royal guard. The devastatingly powerful immortal inside doesn't offer wishes. He demands a price. For every dark assassination she requires to dismantle the corrupt court that destroyed her family, he takes years off her life. Bound together by a dark pact and forced into the close quarters of her hidden cellar, the cold, calculating thief and the smoldering, enigmatic entity begin a deadly dance of power and temptation. He is heat and raw magic; she is ice and iron will. But as the curse ticks down and the lines between master and monster blur, Yara realizes she might be losing more than just her life. She might be surrendering her guarded heart to a creature who would gladly burn the world to ashes for her.
