Aliya

In the winding streets of the Persian Empire, a poor girl is chosen to become the third prince's concubine.

Aliya Farhad has no interest in the lofty ideas of the palace, the staff, or her lover. Prince Cairo has all the interest in his blue-eyed Arabic mistress. But things change when Aliya realizes that the prince is gaining power - and not in a political sense.

After all, it's quite a strange sight to see one's lover gaining cosmic power from a tiny oil lamp.
