All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

In the Middle Eastern kingdom of Badr, Princess Masika is a rebellious young girl who has a strained relationship with her family after tragedy strikes them. As punishment, she’s stripped of her title and forbidden from ever leaving the palace—but that doesn’t stop her from sneaking out and fooling around with her closest friends. Meanwhile in a village lying outside of the kingdom, 16-year-old Azhar and 14-year-old Zahir Liu are the children of a Chinese merchant who specializes in selling clothing and spices. Azhar aspires to be a merchant like her father while Zahir is trained to be one, but he would rather slack off and pluck away at his oud. One day as Badr is preparing for a special event in honor of the royal family, the Liu siblings are sent to deliver spices and jams to their grandparents. However, obstacles lead the two children to a mysterious man seeking a magical lamp in the mines of the distant kingdom, Alvora.

Introduction

This is a tale of three children: a free-spirited princess, a young commoner girl of pure heart and her younger brother.


The princess was a lass with a fiery spirit combined with a kind heart inherited from her father, the benevolent sultan of the enchanted kingdom where the royal bloodline called home for centuries.
The commoner girl was shy, yet sweet and worked hard to achieve her goals. She resided in a peaceful village outside of the kingdom where she spent her time helping her father sell the homemade spices and jams.
As for the boy, he was as much as a wild child as the princess, and he had a love for entertaining the masses with his oud—which, of course, was his preference over learning to be merchant like his dear father—much the chagrin of the village elders and the embarrassment of his family.
Little did all three youths know that their destinies were connected and intertwined with a magic lamp from a faraway land.
Once upon a time, their destinies united into one by an event that would change their lives forever...

This is pretty neat. I'm actually excited about new chapters. Feels straight out of Arabian Nights.

jo987_123: This is a good story, but it needs a good editor to go through this iteration and fix the mistakes. The pov changes from 1st person to 3rd person, often, and sometimes within one sentence.
