Hannah is a young British-Pakistani girl living in East London. Her strict household makes it difficult for her to escape from the pressure of being a good daughter. One such pressure leads her on a fairy-tale romance with a guy she meets at the British Museum. He ticks all the boxes except one. He isn't human. He belongs to the realm of Jinns. 
Hannah soon discovers the guy she's falling in love with is a prisoner, bound to an ancient vase for 1000 years for a crime that wasn't entirely his fault. To release the love of her life from his sentence, Hannah must embark on a dangerous journey that will not only break her away from her own family but will also attract the attention of entities in the Jinn world that should never have learned how far a human will go to save the Jinn she loves. 

Don't Say the Jinn Word

The next morning, I woke with a banging headache. I felt like I had been run over by a bus. Sitting up in bed, I wondered what had happened the night before, but the details were fuzzy. Stepping into the bathroom, I vigorously brushed my teeth willing myself to recall why I felt so weak.


Then, mid-rinse, the memory hit. I could communicate with the boys without actually speaking. The dangers Vazar warned me about were slowly taking shape, but I couldn’t understand how it could happen so soon in our relationship. Racing back to my bedroom, I dialled Vazar’s number from my phone.


“Hey, good morning baby.” He sounded pleasantly surprised to hear from me. It was our first phone call after all.


“Hi, good morning! How are you?” I said breathlessly.


“Have you been out running? You sound out of breath.”


“Yes, I ran back to my bedroom! Something happened last night, and I need your opinion.”


“What? What happened? Are you okay?” His voice broke with concern.
