Freedom's Slave: The Final Young Adult Jinni Fantasy Adventure of Love, Revolution, and War (Dark Caravan Cycle, 3)($14.98Value)

Description

Freedom’s Slave is the exhilarating end to Heather Demetrios’s Dark Caravan Cycle―a modern jinni fantasy-adventure trilogy, which Publishers Weekly called “an intricate and smartly written story,” perfect for fans of Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke & Bone series and Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy. 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. Meanwhile, 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. 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? A Rightful Heir’s Return: After years in exile, Nalia must battle her way back to Arjinna to dethrone the tyrant Calar. But claiming her crown will cost more than she can imagine. - A Revolution Divided: Raif has the soldiers to win the war, but his love for Nalia threatens to splinter the resistance from within. - Gods and Goddesses at Play: The fate of Arjinna doesn’t just rest in mortal hands. Ancient deities have their own plans for the realm, and they aren’t afraid to interfere. - Treason in the Tyrant’s Court: The empress Calar believes she holds all the power, but a conspiracy is unfolding from the one person she trusts most, threatening to topple her reign from the inside. - An Epic Conclusion: The heart-pounding final book in the Dark Caravan Cycle, where love and loyalty are tested and the fate of a kingdom hangs in the balance. Praise for Exquisite Captive: “The story unfolds at a swift, even pace, and the world building is superb; the jinn inhabit an intoxicating, richly realized realm of magic, politics, spirituality, and history. Readers will wish they had a jinni to grant them the next book in the series.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Blending ancient myth and glittering modernity, it’s an intricate and smartly written story.” - Publishers Weekly “Demetrios crafts a refreshingly diverse story with nods to Arabian culture in this lengthy blend of traditional jinni lore and urban fantasy elements.” - SLJ Praise for Blood Passage: “Peppered with Arabic and Arjnnan vocabulary, enriched with references to Islamic tradition and mythology, and supported by the author’s lush, tangible worldbuilding, the book 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.” - Kirkus Reviews “This sequel to Exquisite Captive retains all the electric, enthralling twists and rich world building of the first, and Nalia and Raif’s complicated relationship is sure to once again hook readers.” - Booklist When Heather Demetrios isn’t traipsing around the world or spending time in imaginary places, she lives with her husband in New York City.
