Her gun was his wake-up call...until her courage stole his heart.

In the shattered world that followed the Dying, djinn warrior Omar al-Qadir has only one goal: to eradicate the few humans left. Then he's shot by lone survivor Olivia Raskin while investigating her isolated ranch. He should kill the dark-haired beauty on sight, but something in her defiant green eyes speaks to a part of his soul he's done his best to ignore.

Instead of ending her life, Omar becomes Olivia's protector, dedicated to keeping her safe from the ruthless outlaw djinn Khalim al-Usar, whose depravities know no bounds. As they're hunted from one refuge to another, Omar finds unexpected sanctuary in Olivia's quiet strength and selfless compassion, a tenacious light in the darkness he's immersed himself in for too long.

With their latest haven engulfed in Khalim's fury, Omar is faced with a choice — cling to the hatreds of the past, or embrace his growing love for the human woman who has reawakened his humanity. To protect her, he'll have to become the one thing he loathes — a djinn bound to a human Chosen.
Torn between duty and desire, Omar must wage the biggest battle of all — against his own fears and prejudices — to claim the soulmate who has released him from the shackles of his own making.
