A djinn.
A boy.
A terrible contract.

"I wouldn't have asked for that if I knew
I could ask for anything."

Vaelin is an ancient djinn on a quest to seek the
artifact to which she is enslaved.
Her centuries-long journey lands
her in the southern port city-state of Sol Forne,
where she is certain the artifact is held.
There, she meets Dorovan, a disaffected
youth from a dissolved noble house.
Though their initial connection is cursory,
their bond becomes one that may endanger the entire Cycle of Nature.
