"You're a thief. Dishonorable. Good for nothing." Though my mother never says those words out loud, I know who I am: Alani, a girl dressed as a boy, stealing from the rich of our sultanate. A girl who refuses to marry. A girl who will keep her independence even if I die from it. And now, I just might. I've stolen from the most savage noble family in the city and they're out for blood. And my only chance at redemption is by going on a quest with a mystery aunt to retrieve a rare lamp for the royal family. Only she's not really my aunt. And this lamp holds a secret. The spirit inside has an agenda that will force me to become more than I imagined and maybe, just maybe, shove me into the arms of the prince. But even now, life is no fairy tale. Someone else wants this lamp...and for me to die. Can I survive and keep a wall around my heart?
