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

Another thirty minutes ticked by before I announced my shift had ended to the room.


“You need to sign out with security, Sophie.” The supervisor replied.


“Sure thing.” I collected my bag and made my escape from the room.


Back in the bathroom, I removed my disguise and changed into my cleaning uniform. My heart hammered with anticipation. The duplicate vase was fully packed and ready to be shipped. There was no way anyone would notice the forgery until it had arrived back in Iraq, and by then I had planned to disappear.


The rest of the evening ticked by painfully slow. I took my time in each room on my roster and didn’t speak to anyone else for the remainder of the evening. Thankfully, I didn’t run into Harry or Ms Saunders and managed to sign off my shift by 9pm.
