For adventurous steel heiress Violet Warren, life is satisfactory but not truly satisfying. It's the wake of World War I, and although she has some friends and a mysterious book to keep her company, Violet finds life in 1919 Pittsburgh stifling.

An adventure in Egypt seems just the solution she needs. Unfortunately, Violet fails to take into account the ongoing revolt of Egyptian nationals. When the train she’s riding on is attacked, a mysterious figure appears and ushers her to safety.

But who is this strange man who calls himself Leontios? Can he truly be an ancient magician brought back to life by wild magic, and will he save Violet — and all of Egypt — from an unknown threat, or lead her to her doom?

This slow-burn romance contains graphic sex and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.
