Maktub. The Sands of Mahrus

Taking a new assignment, Erika can’t even imagine that she’ll end up as an exclusive “item” offered at one of the most famous auctions in the Middle East… and it’s here that she will have to face Jayden Preston again—someone else, his agent from the Anmar special services.

We will burn to the ground, to black scars, to cries of despair, hatred, pain, and lust spreading over the ash heap. Fate has caught us… once again, and this time it will finish what it started. And if I can’t save you, then I’ll stay. We will burn, Eynin. Together.
