Betrayed by her ex-lover and falsely imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, Dania counts down the days until she can exact her revenge – if only she didn’t have a life sentence to serve with no hope of release.
But when a fellow prisoner lands in the middle of her cell with a proposition and the keys to a dangerous Jinn treasure, Dania takes the chance to escape and pursue her path of vengeance. Armed with all the power she could want and a brand-new identity, Dania enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family.
But the one person standing in her way is the very man who signed her life away in the first place, and retribution becomes a complicated game of cat and mouse. Because sometimes betrayal isn’t as simple as it seems and revenge certainly isn’t as easy – not when your heart is involved.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Revenge and romance go hand in hand in Varga's Pakistani-inspired fantasy debut. Imprisoned for a murder she did not commit, Dania, a highly skilled swordswoman trained by her renowned swordsmith father, plots vengeance. A chance meeting with fellow prisoner Noor provides both girls with an opportunity to escape, and the discovery that Dania's father was killed for defending her renews her desire for retribution. Armed with gold, a magically altered appearance, and dangerous magic from djinn-produced seeds, Dania returns to the city of Basral with Noor. There, she aims to exact her revenge on all who'd wronged her, including the power-hungry emperor, the corrupt head of the palace guard, the greedy sword merchant who conned her father, and the emperor's ward Mazin, the lover who betrayed her. But even as she successfully cuts down her targets, Dania finds she can't escape her lingering feelings for Mazin. Evocative prose is punctuated by sumptuous descriptions of Pakistani food, clothing, and weaponry, creating a memorable backdrop for Dania's retaliatory schemes and sultry encounters with Mazin, which build to a satisfying, somewhat hastily resolved denouement. Ages 13–up. Agents: Laura Rennert and Paige Terlip, Andrea Brown Literary.
