4-6Children of the Lamp series.
Twins Philippa and John leave their powers behind on a quest for the only djinn who can assume their mother's duties as the soulless Blue Djinn. During their globetrotting adventure, they stumble upon Iblis's wicked plot to reverse luck, enforced by his army of ancient Chinese terra-cotta warriors. Kerr's inventive society gets further creative exposition in this fast-paced series entry.
