Deliverance is by Saima Mir. She makes the rules, and God help anyone who dares to break them… Jia Khan has seized a power most only dare to dream of.

To protect the people she loves, she must escape the very chains her life was forged from. Freedom, however, is never easily won. Her blood runs too deep in the underworld, and powerful enemies have no intention of letting her walk away. When one of her own is murdered, the danger becomes more real than ever. Forced into uneasy alliances with those she once despised, Jia faces enemies pressing in from every side. Is her reign destined to end in blood? For Jia Khan, life has always been a fight, but this is the one battle she cannot afford to lose.
