Loulie al-Nazari was saved by Qadir, a Jinn, when her whole family and tribe were killed by men in black. Al-Nazari is the Midnight Merchant. While others may go a lifetime without seeing a Jinn relic, Loulie sells them.
Magic and relics are illegal – only some know that the relics are infused with magic left by the Jinn who created them. The wealthy collect them mostly for the status, not the magic. Now Loulie is arrested and brought to the sultan. He has heard of a relic in the Sand Sea that he wants her to collect – a trip that is likely to end in her death.
The sultan will be sending his son Omar, head of the 40 Thieves, with her for protection. Omar is a famous Jinn killer.
Abdullah’s first book in the Sandsea series is wonderful – everything you could want in a fantasy adventure. I cannot wait for the next book to come out!
Abdullah, Chelsea. (2022). The Stardust Thief. New York: Orbit.
