In Djinns & Kings, a deadly feud among djinn factions ends with the mysterious murder of Zoa, a mystical aquatic being who curses the city of Afra-Zun. The curse can only be lifted by a human—young Rhuzbeh—tasked with recovering three lost gems, the sanaa. As he journeys across oceans, facing mythical beasts and mighty kings, Rhuzbeh must also reclaim his lost love. But with every choice, he inches closer to a darker path, where love blurs into obsession and heroism demands a steep price. Shabbeer Ahmed weaves a spellbinding tale of magic, love, and the haunting cost of power.
