When eighteen year old Ari Johnson is transported from her bedroom into the chilling realm of Mount Qaf — home to the terrifying and mercurial Jinn — she learns a truth that rocks her very world. Suddenly her anxiety over college and her broken friendship with Charlie seem inconsequential in comparison to the war she now finds herself in the middle of. Her unease isn’t lessened any by Jinn bodyguard, Jai Bitar, the brooding and far too good-looking guy intent on shadowing her every step. Not sure if she can trust him or anyone else, Ari feels more alone than ever.

And when blazing truth burns through her life determined to turn it to ashes, Ari will have to battle with ancient deadly creatures, epic family drama, and heart-wrenching romantic entanglements.

The White King has crossed the line, sounded the horn, sent out the wolves.

When blood is shed and life is lost, the reality of Ari’s position as both hunter and prey finally sets in. It seems her father will stop at nothing to force her will to his own, and distracted by Charlie’s latest mistake and her seemingly misguided attraction to Jai, Ari never thought to fear anyone else but the Jinn King.

Blindsided and attacked, Ari learns a new wolf has joined the hunt. A dark sorcerer believes he knows a way to bleed the power of the Seal and wield it as his own, and he is even less patient than The White King.

The War for the Seal has only just begun and it’s time for Ari to take a stand. The time of being prey is over.

Now Ari must become the hunter.

FEAR THE HEAT...

Everything in Ari’s life until this point has been borrowed. Her human life with a man who wasn't her real father. A love for a boy who needed more than her to be strong. Kisses with a Jinn who refused to do anything but lend them out in moments of weakness. And even her resolve, which seemed to fail her whenever she needed it most.

But Ari is done borrowing. She finally feels strong enough to make hunting Jinn not just a distraction to get her through her dismal situation, but to make hunting a career. Her friendship with Charlie might finally make it onto real and steady ground if only she can save him from the trial on Mount Qaf. And her love for Jai could be eternal, if only she could gain control over the darkness of the Seal within her.

Ari believes all of this is doable—that finally she will truly own the relationships in her life and, to a certain extent, have ownership over her future.

But none of that matters when it isn't up to her…

High in the emerald mountains of Mount Qaf, the Sultan Azazil has been keeping secrets. Even from the Jinn Kings. Secrets that will change everything and bring Ari to the crashing realization that once again she has borrowed something that will never truly belong to her.

Something desperate to be unleashed.

Something that could destroy them all.

Fear the Heat...

Ari Johnson wishes adjusting to living with her boyfriend was her only source of excitement and anxiety.
She wishes a lot of things.
But then wishing was what got her here in the first place.

Ari chose to be a Guild Hunter. She wanted to hunt dangerous Jinn and destroy them before they could harm innocent people. But now that Ari is a member of The Guild she finds herself in the impossible position of hunting her ex-best friend — human-turned-dangerous sorcerer, Charlie Creagh. As Ari struggles to come to terms with her duty, an ancient Jinn and his companion want revenge on her for using the command of the Seal against them and the White King refuses to give up on his quest to resurrect Lilif. Moreover... Asmodeus isn’t done toying with her.

When Ari can take no more, rushing to the Sultan Azazil’s side to demand of him the favor he owes her, the events she sets in motion will not only alter everyone’s lives, it will kindle a darkness that shakes the realms to the very core.
