About
A sizzling Pakistani romantic fantasy retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo where one girl seeks revenge through the use of forbidden magic against the boy she once loved and those who betrayed her.
Betrayed by the boy she loved and framed for a crime she didn't commit, Dania counts down her days in prison until she can exact revenge. When fellow prisoner Noor digs into her cell while trying to escape, Dania seizes her opportunity. Together, she and Noor hunt for a hidden Djinn treasure that could be the key to achieving their vengeance.
Armed with power and a new identity, Dania enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family. But revenge is a complicated game of cat and mouse, especially when the boy she once loved stands in her way and an undeniable fire still burns between them. As Dania falls deeper into the dark djinn power and her web of traps and lies, she risks losing her humanity to the djinn magic and her heart to the only boy she's ever loved…because the power to destroy her enemies has a price, and it may be much more than Dania ever bargained for.
