Abandoned as a young child,plucky, seventeen-year-old
Melba was raised like a boy to pick pockets and run
messages in the poor outer circles of Royal Malverne Isle.
But She longs to move up the criminal hierarchy and become
a spy. When nineteen-year-old Turk, a spymaster and local
folk hero, accepts her pledge to join his gang, she thinks
the Great Earth Jinn has heard her prayer. With his exotic,
dark southern looks and wealthy lifestyle in the inner
circle, Turk fascinates her. Not only is he a famous spy,
he also wields earth magic, and he teaches her to raise
tiny, playful Jinns from flowers. But Turk is not who he
seems. He follows the orders of a higher power and his
master has secret plans for Melba, plans that make her a
target of the evil Royal Victualler's foul magic, plans
that challenge Melba and Turk's beliefs about life and
duty, plans that tear them apart, just as they discover
what it means to fall in love.
