The fate of a kingdom rests in the hands of a servant with no power but her will.

In a kingdom surrounded by the ever-flowing sands of ancient Persia, Zahra dreams of attending the sultan's lavish events rather than serving at them. Until she crashes headlong into the mysterious prince. Then she just dreams of the prince. Too bad she has no poise, position, or charm to catch his eye. To win his affection would take a miracle. Or magic...

When Zahra interrupts a love spell meant for the vizier's daughter, the prince falls for her instead. Her wish has come true, but now the furious vizier wants her head. Fleeing for her life, Zahra seeks the mythical Golden Scarab of Balihar, desperately hoping the power of the jinni within can shield her from his vengeance. But when she learns the extent of his plan, she'll have to decide whether to save herself, her prince, or the entire kingdom.

This young adult action adventure novel, with plenty of heart and a generous sprinkling of humor, is the first in The Tales of Zahra series, but may be read as a standalone story.
