Princess Noor and the Djinn's Veil (A Novel)

In the kingdom of Qadar, where alien engines hum beneath golden minarets and the magic of the Arabian Nights still lingers in the air, Princess Noor is no ordinary woman.

Burdened by a legacy she barely understands, she is the daughter of King Zayd, who once struck a fatal bargain with a Djinn, and Queen Inara, who surrendered her immortality and the jeweled skies of Paristan to live in the mortal world for love. Now Inara lies gravely ill, and Noor wanders a palace of fading grandeur.

Everything changes when Noor discovers a forbidden artifact hidden in the palace's abandoned wing, a relic pulsing with secrets from her father's past. In a heartbeat, she is drawn into Koh Kaaf, a perilous realm belonging to the Djinns, where riddles breathe, beasts speak, and palaces shift when you are not looking.

Rescued, and perhaps ensnared, by a masked navigator named Kael, Noor is led through a dreamlike world ruled by the beautiful, but evil tyrant, Queen Hera. At Kael's side drifts his only companion, Felfel, a magical orange-and-purple tabby cat who vanishes mid-purr, reappears upside down, and seems to know far more than a cat should.

Oh, and there might just be a Jabberwocky involved. :)

Princess Noor and the Djinn's Veil is a tale of wonder and treachery, of legacy and transformation, a reimagined Arabian Nights adventure for readers who believe a mere woman can reshape worlds.
