Aru Shah meets One Thousand and One Nights in this lavish middle grade adventure following a girl who must travel to a mystical land of sorceresses, alchemists, jinn, and flying carpets to discOver her heritage and fulfill her destiny.
Yara must summon all her courage to discOver the truth about her mother\'s past and her own identity...and to find her place in this magical new world..
The practice of magic has been outlawed, the Sultan\'s alchemists are plotting a sinister scheme--and the answers Yara is searching for seem to be out of reach.
But Zehaira is not the land it used to be.
Yara must travel from the home she has always known to a place that is not on any map--Zehaira, a world of sorcerers, alchemists and simmering magic.
When twelve-year-old Yara\'s mother passes away, she leaves behind a letter and a strange set of instructions.
Good luck, my brave girl.
To return to the city of Zehaira, you must read out the words on the back of this letter...
My own Yara, if you are reading this, then something terrible has happened, and you are on your own.
