A merchant, a prince, and a thief must band together one last time to stop a catastrophic war in this explosive finale to the Sandsea Trilogy.

Neither here nor there, but long ago…

Legendary merchant Loulie al-Nazari has rescued the jinn realm from collapse beneath the Sandsea, but there is no peace between humans and jinn. When the sultan unveils a twisted magic capable of devastating the balance forever, Loulie must gather her own magics and bargain a deadly alliance to thwart his plans. If she fails, she risks losing her family.

Meanwhile, exiled prince Mazen bin Malik has heard the rumors of unrest in the human cities. Faced with the destiny he has been fleeing his whole life, he must decide: Will he turn away from his brother’s lies to free himself, or will he rewrite his story to claim his inheritance? 

Former thief Aisha bint Louas is also out for vengeance. But, haunted by jinn and memories from a past that is not her own, she struggles to remember herself. To obtain revenge against the sultan that betrayed her, Aisha will have to master not just her death magic, but herself, before she is lost forever.

The Sandsea Trilogy

The series

Full series details →

In the vast, shifting dunes of a desert world where magic clings to every grain of sand, The Sandsea Trilogy draws readers into a rich tapestry of myth, danger, and forbidden power. At the heart of this mesmerizing series lies a tale as ancient as the stars themselves—a world where jinn are not just figments of legend but powerful beings with their own secrets, their own agendas. The trilogy unfolds in a land where the line between ally and enemy is as blurred as the desert horizon, and every choice carries the weight of history.

Read full series description

In the first book, The Stardust Thief, a reluctant hero emerges from the shadows. Loulie al-Nazari, the notorious thief and jinn hunter, is thrust into a quest that will unravel the fragile threads holding her world together. She navigates a labyrinth of treachery, magic, and long-forgotten relics, all while forging unlikely alliances with characters whose motives are as mysterious as the lands they traverse. What begins as a personal mission soon spirals into a fight for survival, where ancient powers resurface, and the very fate of the world teeters on the brink of chaos.

The world-building in The Sandsea Trilogy is a marvel in itself—a breathtaking desert expanse filled with hidden cities, forgotten oases, and treacherous landscapes that seem to shift and change with the characters' journeys. This is a realm where magic is both a gift and a curse, where the past is never fully buried, and where the weight of tradition collides with the desire for freedom. Each page is a new discovery, an invitation to explore the myths and mysteries that lie just beneath the surface of this vast, untamed world.

The series is a beautifully crafted blend of mythic storytelling, intricate plotting, and emotionally charged character arcs. For those who crave fantasy with heart, where the lines between legend and reality blur, The Sandsea Trilogy promises to take readers on a journey they won’t soon forget.
