As the daughter of the sultan's advisor, Zardi (short for Scheherazade) has an easy life in Arribitha. When the sultan turns on Zardi's family, she and her best friend search for freedom, answers, and protection. The mix of magic and legend deftly brings djinnis and Captain Sinbad to vibrant life. Strong characters and balanced mystery/discovery leave ample room for further adventures.
