The Azar Trilogy Series by Grace McGinty

Azar Nazemi is a firefighter with an ancient secret; she is Ifrit. A race of Djinn, or Genies as they are known to Westerners, the Ifrit have the ability to read a fire and mold it to their will. That makes her job a whole lot easier. When her crew attends a series of deadly arsons that appear to have been lit by one of her own kind, Azar knows it is up to her to track down the rogue Ifrit and stop him before he kills more people... moreAzar Nazemi is a firefighter with an ancient secret; she is Ifrit. A race of Djinn, or Genies as they are known to Westerners, the Ifrit have the ability to read a fire and mold it to their will. That makes her job a whole lot easier. When her crew attends a series of deadly arsons that appear to have been lit by one of her own kind, Azar knows it is up to her to track down the rogue Ifrit and stop him before he kills more people. There's only one problem; she’s spent a lifetime avoiding other Djinn and ensuring that the Djinn Ruling Council have no knowledge of her existence. A cold and brutal regime, the Djinn Council want to conscript her into slavery for one hundred years. As she pursues the Rogue, Azar will break the rules of secrecy that surround her world and enlist the help of human Arson Detective, Keenan Reilly. A chauvinist to the core, Detective Reilly has always rubbed Azar up the wrong way, mostly because she'd like him to rub her up the right way, despite her better judgement. But if she is to save her friends and the millions of people who call New York City home, then she is going to have to make a few sacrifices and bend a few rules. less

The Djinn have revelled in their position as the apex predator of the supernatural world for longer than Azar could remember. They held all the power and they wielded it with brutal finality. Being forced into fifty years of servitude only confirmed what she already knew; the Djinn Council put their pride above doing what was right or fair. Admittedly, it could have been worse... moreThe Djinn have revelled in their position as the apex predator of the supernatural world for longer than Azar could remember. They held all the power and they wielded it with brutal finality. Being forced into fifty years of servitude only confirmed what she already knew; the Djinn Council put their pride above doing what was right or fair. Admittedly, it could have been worse. She has a reasonably cushy job, a budding romance with the hunky Bast, a few unexpected friends, and a little bit of freedom so she didn't beat against the gilded cage of her servitude too much. But all that changes when Djinn kids begin showing up torn to pieces and set on fire. Tasked with tracking down a hate group that has it out for her kind, she travels to Canada on her first mission with The Adel, the Djinn military. However, what she finds in the Canadian wilderness will threaten everything she takes for granted; her relationships, her sense of self, and even the very foundations of the Djinn regime. The Djinn are about to find out that even the predators can quickly become the prey. less

The supernatural world is in chaos. The Djinn Council are dead, the body count is rising daily, and the Adel forces are scattered and leaderless. But this is only the beginning. The Fae are amassing an army that threatens to decimate the already weakened Djinn people. Their mission? To subjugate or destroy the other supernatural inhabitants of the planet, until they can rise up as the New Gods. Azar Nazemi was comfortable in her role of black sheep of Djinn society... moreThe supernatural world is in chaos.

To subjugate or destroy the other supernatural inhabitants of the planet, until they can rise up as the New Gods. Azar Nazemi was comfortable in her role of black sheep of Djinn society. She’d even grown used to her servitude. Now her world was in tatters, and her instincts told her to run and hide. But the pressure of a divine prophecy, a lover who no longer had a corporeal form, and the guardianship of the next King of the Seelie Fae meant running was no longer an option. The world might be in tatters, but she’d finally found something she was willing to stand and fight for, people she had grown to love, and the promise of a life she had only dreamed could be real. Could she stand up and become the unlikely hero that the Djinn needed, and maybe make a new world in the process? Rage and Ruin is the third and final book in The Azar Trilogy. less
