the series finale, Book 3 in the Dark Caravan Cycle
“A rich, unique world, full of characters who blaze as brightly as their tremendous powers—I was ensnared from the very first line! EXQUISITE CAPTIVE is a beautiful and clever reimagining the mythology of the jinn, and utterly unlike anything I’ve ever read. Seductive, refreshing, and unforgettable!”
An Empress Fighting For Her Crown
An Army Fighting To Survive
A Land Worth Fighting For
After three long years in exile, Nalia is ready to return to her homeland and sit on the throne that is rightfully hers. But the gods might have other plans. Forced to endure untold horrors on the journey to Arjinna, Nalia learns that it will take more than cutting down the tyrant Calar to get her crown.
Raif’s return to Arjinna as the commander of the revolution against Calar and her army isn’t as smooth as he’d hoped. Though he has more soldiers than ever before, his love for Nalia is losing him the trust of his comrades…and the war. But little does the resistance know that insurrection is brewing among Calar’s own ranks—and from the one person she trusts the most.
Arjinna is dying—Calar’s evil experiments with dark magic and the strength of her own psychic powers threaten to destroy the land of the jinn. Is Nalia and Raif’s enduring love enough to transform and rescue their homeland? Will they be willing to save the realm, no matter the cost?
Freedom’s Slave marks the exhilarating end of Heather Demetrios’s Dark Caravan Cycle.
Fauto by Margot Wood for the Dark Caravan Cycle
“Brilliantly flawed characters lead the reader on an emotional and dangerous journey through mystical, magical realms that hide secrets from all.”
“...the author’s lush, tangible worldbuilding...transports readers into the battle for Arjinna’s freedom...Here’s hoping the third book arrives faster than a jinni can manifest a glass of spiced Arjinnan wine.”
