Description

 

The extraordinary sequel to The Balloon Thief: an epic journey into a world of shadows and trickery where the stakes are even higher …

After the battle of Al-Shaam – where the invading jinn army was defeated – Khadija, Jacob and their friends are heroes. Then, Khadija receives a letter: her sister, Talia, has been kidnapped and stolen into the magical realm of Al-Ghaib.

Accompanied by Darian – who has been different since jinniya Queen Bidhukh’s parting blow – Khadija embarks on a quest to rescue Talia.

But Al-Ghaib, where the sky is emerald green, is a place of trickery: Khadija will have to have all her wits about her if she’s to outfox her sister’s captor …
