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.

“What did the soldiers say?” I asked referring to the conversation they had before they left.


“They were asking me if we would be going back to Jumana tonight. I told them no as the journey might be too much for you after your ordeal. Was I right to tell them that?” 


I smiled sleepily. “Yes, I’m too tired to make that journey tonight. I think it’s best we stay here tonight and then go back tomorrow.”


“Sounds like a plan. Shall we book a hotel and get you some food too?”
