Book snapshot

Ten-year-old Adam stood on his doorstep, peering into the kitchen where his mother and father were engaged in a heated discussion—a conversation best left unheard of. He was too young to hear about the financial hardship his family was facing, the war ravaging his homeland, or the hidden world that surrounded him and his world on all sides. If Adam had heard these secrets, the golden fortress around him would have crumbled. His eyes would have seen jinn of every kind, race, and color roaming every inch of his street. His ears would have heard whispers of the jinn speaking of the Battle of Karam Naz, or of the prophecy of the end of jinn rule that haunted the three masters, or of the impending war of the 99 princes. And his tongue would have spoken… No… He would not speak. (Adam) said something about the jinn, so who would believe a child like Adam?!
