Before he was cursed, genie Ashura-Goreem loved a human woman. His love threatens her life; to save her, he must betray her.
Ashura-Goreem, chief builder and a genie, has restored the glory of the Temple of Esagil in Babylonia. All he seeks as reward is dark-eyed Miraphet, daughter to the nefarious King Eriba-Marduk. The passionate love between Ash and Miraphet defies the segregation of jinn and human. However, such love brews resentment. And as the king plots with jealous female jinni, Tiru, to harness Ash’s freedom and trade his daughter to the salacious Assyrians, Ash realizes that the only way to save Miraphet is to betray her. They will both discover if their love is stronger than magic.
