In the cramped, rain‑soaked alleys of Old Dhaka, Rafi scrapes by as a street vendor, chasing coins one rickshaw ride at a time. But when a midnight accident drags him into a hidden market that should not exist, he finds himself trapped in a world ruled by jinn-ancient beings who trade in magic, secrets, and souls. Now bonded to a power he doesn't understand, Rafi must survive a brutal underworld where jinn gangs fight turf wars, human street gangs sell their blood for favors, and wishes come with deadly interest. From rooftop chases to alley‑bazaar duels, he claws his way from nobody to warlord, fighting not just for his life, but for the future of Old Dhaka itself. Jinn Bazaar: Old Dhaka Uprising is an action‑packed urban fantasy set in the heart of Dhaka, where every prayer has a price and every backstreet might hide a doorway to another world.

That is, until one day, he overhears a conversation that forces him to doubt the life he's been living.
