The first book in a new high-stakes middle grade fantasy duology from George Jreije, author of the Shad Hadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria series. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and the Rick Riordan Presents line! 

Shy eleven-year-old Bashir Boutros dreads going back to Boston after an amazing summer in Lebanon. He’s always felt invisible back home, where he doesn’t have any real friends. Then, Bashir makes a lucky discovery—a long-lost ring containing a jinn, Yani, a mythical being whose magical aura brings power to those who wield it. With it, maybe Bashir will finally be able to fit in. 

But the ring’s untold power makes Bashir a target for monsters—including Ali Adin, the world’s most dangerous demon. When Ali Adin kidnaps Bashir’s parents, Bashir joins forces with an ancient society sworn to protect the world from demons and supernatural beings. Together, they set off on a race to stop Ali Adin’s evil plans to conquer the world as Bashir attempts to harness the ring’s abilities.

But great power comes at what cost?
