(3) YA Zahra, a jinni, knows better than to fall for a human. But after a young thief finds her lamp, Zahra is willing to sacrifice even her chance at freedom for him. Khoury's unabashedly romantic "Aladdin" retelling features scheming viziers, sparkling desert palaces, and intrigue and danger heightened by jinn magic. A strong female protagonist who commands great power propels this emotionally charged fantasy.
