Chelsea Abdullah writes with such splintering and beautiful agony that I was left with every bone broken, every vessel cut, and my ashes nothing but fragrant dust.What it's about: With storytelling like One Thousand and One Nights, pick up The Stardust Thief and enter a world of quests, legends, romantic princes, sibling rivalry, and unfriendly thieves under a desert’s starry night sky.
Loulie al-Nazari, the Midnight Merchant, hunts and sells magical relics with jinn bodyguard, Qadir. When she saves the Sultan’s youngest son, Mazen, she’s thrown into his father's privileged world.
Along with a cowardly prince, a grumpy jinn bodyguard, and an irritable swordswoman, Loulie must pursue a legendary land for an ancient magical lamp.
Join this reluctant group as they face a vengeful jinn queen, vicious killers, and heartrending truths. You’ll enjoy the feel of the glittering sand underneath Loulie’s feet, the brush of the wind as Mazen gazes at the stars, and the longing of a soft-hearted prince as he looks upon a girl sharper than a bloodied knife.
