He created man of clay, and the Jinn of smokeless fire. —The Noble Qur'an
After graduation, Carrie and her two best friends travel to Morocco on one last adventure before they go their separate ways. But in the ancient city of Oujda—known as the City of Fear—something has been waiting for her. Creatures of smokeless fire, older than humanity, have been hunting King Solomon's bloodline for three thousand years.
Imprisoned beneath the mountains, an ancient evil is fighting its weakening bonds. The Armies of Fire are gathering, and the people Carrie loves are already suffering. Only she can stop it—if she can discover why the Jinn have chosen her.
To save them, she'll pay a price worse than death.
The Jinn: Daughter of Solomon draws from Islamic mythology, the Qur'an, the histories of al-Tabari, and the lost grimoires of ancient sorcerers to tell a story of friendship, sacrifice, and supernatural horror set against the ancient cities and remote mountains of Morocco. It is rooted in one of the world's oldest and most feared mythologies—that of the Jinn—one that a billion people believe is real.
WOW! What an incredible piece of storytelling! I got sucked into the story pretty early on, and it just kept getting more and more interesting. The ending, while sad, was fitting.
