The Dark Caravan Cycle

[darkcaravancycle]

Here’s the cover for Book 3! We even have Nalia rocking the harem pants. Freedom’s Slave comes out on Feb. 28, 2017. You can find out more here. 

An Empress Fighting For Her Crown

After three long years in exile, Nalia is ready to return to her homeland and sit on the throne that is rightfully hers. But the gods might have other plans. Forced to endure untold horrors on the journey to Arjinna, Nalia learns that it will take more than cutting down the tyrant Calar to get her crown.

 An Army Fighting To Survive

Raif’s return to Arjinna as the commander of the revolution against Calar and her army isn’t as smooth as he’d hoped. Though he has more soldiers than ever before, his love for Nalia is losing him the trust of his comrades…and the war. But little does the resistance know that insurrection is brewing among Calar’s own ranks—and from the one person she trusts the most.

 A Land Worth Fighting For

Arjinna is dying—Calar’s evil experiments with dark magic and the strength of her own psychic powers threaten to destroy the land of the jinn. Is Nalia and Raif’s enduring love enough to transform and rescue their homeland? Will they be willing to save the realm, no matter the cost?

 Freedom’s Slave marks the exhilarating end of Heather Demetrios’s Dark Caravan Cycle.

BLOOD PASSAGE by Heather Demetrios | Kirkus Reviews

After three years of servitude under a greedy half-human/half-jinn master, jinni slave Nalia Aisouri'Taifyeh is free—almost.

Yay! Got my first review for Book 2 of The Dark Caravan Cycle, Blood Passage: "the author’s lush, tangible worldbuilding...transports readers into the battle for Arjinna’s freedom...Here’s hoping the third book arrives faster than a jinni can manifest a glass of spiced Arjinnan wine."

House Of Flying Daggers

Dance scene from House Of Flying Daggers. A romantic police captain breaks a beautiful member of a rebel group out of prison to help her rejoin her fellows, ...

So, I was at the MET checking out the amazing China Through The Looking Glass exhibit and they had this clip from House of Flying Daggers up. The Echo Dance is very much what Nalia looks like when she’s doing Sha’a Rho, the jinn martial art. It’s powerful, graceful, and--in Nalia’s case--deadly. She also has magic that’s she’s using, but this is pretty darn close. And gorgeous!

Book 2 Update

Hello caravanners! 

This is just a little update for those of you who are still confused about what’s going on with Book 2 (Blood Passage). We’ve decided to go in a different direction with the covers and because it takes time to create gorgeous, sexy, iconic art for three books, we’ve had to delay publication of Blood Passage until Winter 2016. I know, I know. I’m also like:

The official release date is March 1st. You can pre-order it here or anywhere else you wish to buy books. You can all pre-order the paperback of Exquisite Captive, which drops on Feb. 2nd. How do I feel about the paperback (which will have a fabulous new cover)?

A lot of advanced copies are out there in the hands of bloggers and reviewers, so make sure you stay away from spoilers. I have no idea when the reviews are going to begin coming out. I’m really proud of this book and so excited for you all to go on the journey with Nalia, Malek, and Raif. I traveled to Morocco to research this, so it’s extra special to me. I can’t wait for you all to go to Morocco with my favorite jinn. How do I feel about this book? 

Bring your tissues, you’re gonna need them! 

But it’s also really sexy, so there’s that. :)

Thank you all for being so supportive, patient, and passionate about the series. I know it sucks to wait. You’re the best.

I was at the MET and checked out the Islamic art section. There were eight-pointed stars EVERYWHERE. I felt like I was in Morocco again. If you’ve read Exquisite Captive - and especially if you’ve read Blood Passage - then you’ll know why this was so exciting to me. No Solomon’s sigil, though, sadly...

Aw, this made me think of Nal and Raif.
