The Story
From George Jreije, author of the acclaimed Shad Hadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria series, comes the exhilarating conclusion to the Bashir Boutros duology in which Bashir and his friends find themselves and the fate of the realms threatened by an unexpected force: a vengeful jinn more powerful and ancient than Yani himself.
With Ali Adin defeated and the realms at peace once again, Bashir Boutros is hoping for a normal school year. Well, as normal as things can get when you have a powerful jinn for a friend and you're a member of the secret Council of Magi.
But when a girl wearing a mysterious pendant attacks the Magi's hideout, Bashir and his friends quickly find themselves threatened by a jinn more powerful and ancient than his own. Worse, the girl and her jinn are hungry for revenge. Facing a final battle for the realms, Bashir will have to weigh whether or not staying true to himself will cost him the world that he loves. . .
