Starting on his reluctant odyssey with a small party of friends, the storyteller Jafar al-Sharif must cope with treacherous nomads, a desert djinn, a hostile king of an underground realm and an army of animated corpses as he attempts to save the life of his beloved daughter.
This is Book 2 of the Parsina Saga, sequel to SHRINE OF THE DESERT MAGE. It is a journey through a world of djinni, flying carpets and high adventure in exotic realms -- with the fate of the world at stake.
