Master Of None

The first book in an exciting new urban fantasy series about a thief who must work with a genie in order to save his son's life, by an author whose talents are reminiscent of Jim Butcher.

Gavyn Donatti has the worst luck. He actually lost the item he was hired to steal, but Trevor, his ruthless employer, believes he fenced it for cash. After all, what professional thief misplaces a score? Trevor's thugs have Donatti cornered when his luck finally turns - a djinn appears out of nowhere to save him. Unfortunately, this isn't a blonde and curvaceous creature a la 'I Dream of Jeannie,' eager to grant three wishes, but an overgrown and extremely surly man who seemingly hates Donatti on the spot. So why is he helping Donatti? Because Ian, the djinn, is the last of his clan-and Donatti is his only remaining human descendant.

Even with Ian's help, Donatti has his hands full evading Trevor. Trevor has teamed up with a violent djinn to increase his power and hunt Donatti down. If Trevor and his djinn succeed in capturing Ian and Donatti, they will gain complete power in the djinn realm, and on earth. And when Trevor puts Donatti's son in the crossfire, the stakes are raised even higher. Donatti has never thought of himself as a hero-but then, he never thought he had djinn blood in him, either...
