A thrilling action packed book full of jinn, magic, adventure. 
  
When Loulie, the Midnight Merchant, saves the life of a Prince, the Sultan blackmails her into a quest to find a certain magical lamp.
  
Forced onto this quest is also a prince and one of his forty thieves, who lust for jinn blood, death, and relics.
  
This book is an incredible start for the Sandsea trilogy. The world building is amazing, the characters almost believable, some fighting scenes made me hold my breath. 
  
I love Middle Eastern tales, and this re-telling is beautiful.
