Can one love destroy the world?

The evil Djinn has been banished. Still, Marielle's happy days are filled with fear. She feigns a content appearance, but the fear of Akeelah's sworn revenge haunts her.

When Akeelah finally reappears, Marielle discovers the creature is crueler than she ever imagined. The Djinn is totally insane, ready to cause deadly chaos, and willing to do whatever it takes to learn the secrets that will let her control human souls.

Faris—Marielle's one and only love—possesses the knowledge the evil Djinn seeks. Ruthlessly,

Akeelah captures him, tearing him away and leaving Marielle brokenhearted and on her knees. Without him, she isn't whole. Anger brews slowly within her. No matter the pain, she isn't about to sit idle and let her grief cripple her. She won't let Akeelah win, and she will do whatever it takes to get Faris back—even if it means putting the entire human race at risk.
