Determined to acquire the ancient tools of the Hakima, Phoenix is caught between her duty and the lure of young love, facing temptation from a mysterious hybrid of human and jinn. As her lonely heart wavers, she must choose between her mission to protect humanity and the dangerous allure of her powerful adversary.
