YA
Jinni Wars series.
Half-human, half-jinni twin sisters use their gifts to end the war between their peoples. Najwa serves as jinni consul to (while also spying on) the caliph of Baghdad, while Zayele trains to be a magus and attempts to make amends to her blind cousin, Yashar. This second book in the Middle Eastern folklore–influenced fantasy series will enthrall readers with its gorgeous world-building.

YA
Jinni Wars series.
Zayele, sent to Baghdad to marry Prince Kamal, catches a jinni and wishes to trade places with her. Zayele lands in their crystal subterranean world; jinni Najwa is stuck impersonating Zayele. As the girls learn about their new worlds, greater problems are afoot in the kingdom, and they must save the bond between humans and jinn. A lush and engaging fantasy series-starter.
