"A mythological tale with a twist. The Greatest Trick is an accomplished and polished piece of work from one so young!"
 

In a world full of untapped resources, many would like to believe that these are our final moments. However, there is one not of our time.

Born in a time that wasn't ready for him, into a family that wasn't his, Azeem bin Nur is trained in the traditions of his paternal art: Hashasheen. Left orphaned after his first mission, he wanders the desert searching for his place in the world.

Azeem's body becomes participant to an immortally wicked sport, fought out through the ages between djinni and humans.

Egypt some 100 Years later and Damon, the current owner of Azeem's body, has set his sights on a female slave. She reminds him of another such female, from a different time and under a different name.

However, as a member of the djinni he cares not for past grievances and lives entirely in the moment.

Until one day in the very distant future, when his world will come crashing down around him unless he relinquishes the guise he has taken and allows Azeem his freedom.
