Young Adult Fiction

How can she protect her kingdom, if she can't protect herself?

Arie eagerly anticipates becoming Queen of her humble kingdom. Even when a Jinni's Gift manifests before her 18th birthday, she fights to hide the forbidden ability.

But when a neighboring king attempts to manipulate her into marriage and steal her kingdom, discovery feels imminent. Just one slip could cost her throne. And her life.

A Jinni hunter and his crew of thieves are the only thing that might help her remove this Gift. And she must remove it before it's exposed. Or die trying.

The Stolen Kingdom is a loose "Aladdin" retelling. Set in a world that humans share with Meremaids, Dragons, and the elusive Jinni, this isn't the fairytale you remember...
