A Haunt for Jackals - J. L. Odom

\nAfter capturing a jinn-devil and fleeing to the desert, Azetla has exchanged the threat of execution for the weight of high treason. Thousands of men are now under his command-for the Emperor's brother must have both a scapegoat and a symbol to stand behind his quiet coup.\n \n\n \nBut Azetla has different plans. He means to bring his masters a war which will spread throughout the southern desert, and beyond. As Azetla gathers troops and tribes and victories, his reluctant alliance with the Sahr devil becomes an indispensable one. Few can resist the influence of her words, which reach every tongue and every tribe.\n \n\n \nThe rebellious nobility of Maurow will get more than they ever bargained for.\n \n\n \nThe Emperor's brother, James, will become a far more ruthless man than he ever wanted to be.\n \n\n \nAnd the whole southern desert will be tempted by the chance to cast off the yoke of the Empire\n \n\n \nThey need only submit to the command of a jackal and the voice of a jinn.\n
