Publisher Description
How can she protect her kingdom, if she can't protect herself?
Arie never expected to manifest a Jinni's Gift. When she begins to hear the thoughts of those around her, she hides it to the best of her ability. But to her dismay, the forbidden Gift is growing out of control.
When a neighboring king tries to force her hand in marriage and steal her kingdom, discovery becomes imminent. Just one slip could cost her throne. And her life.
A lamp, a heist, and a Jinni hunter's crew of thieves are her only hope for removing this Gift--and she must remove it before she's exposed. Or die trying.
THE STOLEN KINGDOM is a loose Aladdin retelling. Set in a world that humans share with Mermaids, Dragons, and the elusive Jinni, this isn't the fairytale you remember…
If you enjoy fantasy worlds, magical races, and surprising spins on classic fairy tales, then you'll love this spellbinding retelling of Aladdin.

Customer Reviews
Fast paced and fun
An enjoyable read and an interesting take on the Aladdin story. The characters were great and multi-layered. The writing was tight and fast paced. Reader beware, this book will incite you to continue reading the series as it does not actually end at the end.
I didn’t want it to end!
THE END came way too fast! I thought I had another 23 pages of glorious story, but alas, no. Only the credits! Definitely reading the rest of the series!

Fairytale vibes
This book is aweeeeesome. I didn’t like one of the pov characters at first, but trust me — they grow on you. I WANT TO READ EVERYTHING THIS AUTHOR HAS WRITTEN!!!
Best comparison for voice would probably be Maria V. Snyder, but I liked this way more.
(Also, for those who care — this book maintains a refreshing lack of “spice”)
