While on a dig with her father, they happen to stumble across an ancient ruin that releases a jinni through a doorway between the worlds. Out of naivety and sympathy, Vera befriends the ancient creature only to realize the dark, nightmarish truth behind classic fairy tales of the Genie. The jinni's fascination with her quickly turns into dangerous obsession. Soon mangled bodies begin turning up all over desert and Vera has no clue how to stop it. When the jinni begins to posses her friends and threaten their deaths, Vera finds herself desperate to end the madness.

Alethea has always been awkward - eccentric, even. On a typical day she spends her time cloistered inside a tiny apartment hiding from the world she doesn't really understand. When her therapist encourages her to push herself outside her comfort zone, Thea makes an ill-fated trip into the city. Even though her therapist assured her nothing would go wrong, Thea gets attacked and sent to purgatory, which is, for someone who is agoraphobic, claustrophobic, germaphobic, the worst nightmare imaginable. Even worse? She may never be able to get back to the comfort of her apartment. She may not even want to. Cover made by the talented @Tanii915
