​
For thirty-nine nights, the sultan of Zunbar has chosen a new wife.
For thirty-nine dawns, they are pronounced dead.

When Sultan Zayne summons my best friend to be taken as his newest victim, I can no longer pretend to be blind and volunteer in her stead. My only plan--weave a story each night and hopefully learn why he would kill in the first place.
As I unravel the tapestry of lies, I learn there's more going on inside the gilded walls of the palace than anyone in the land could ever realize. I've woven myself into the story, and if I don't pull on the right thread, it's not only my life at stake but my heart.

Daughter of Thieves
Book 1 of The Sands of Wonder Series
​
A street rat.
A magic lamp.
An obnoxiously handsome prince.
​
Stealing a golden serpent should have been an easy-in, easy-out mission with my father. Instead, he was captured by the soldiers of Zunbar. I thought the only chance at freeing him was to get arrested too, but he was moved to the palace prison. Now, my only hope is to join the Desert Trials and find the magic lamp hidden inside the Dragon’s Lair cave.
Ten tasks to prove my proficiency in the art of magic. How hard could it be?
Only, I’ve never used magic in my entire life.
Surviving the trials is only part of the problem. I’ve inadvertently partnered with Prince “Abubu” and he’s bent on reaching the magic lamp before his sister. The lamp with a jinni inside willing to give just one wish is my birthright, and I’m not about to let a dashing prince reach it before me.
But the Dragon’s Lair is more like the Cave of Nightmares, and I can’t escape without Prince Abudar’s help. If we don’t work together, we might not make it out alive, and I am not wasting my only wish in order to escape.
With the chance to make a single wish, can a street rat finally prove her worth? Find out in this adventure-packed retelling of Aladdin!

With Abudar taken by The Veil, Mihrage's previous leader showing up out of the blue, and the thieves relocating to a new home, there's hardly enough time to eat, let alone rest. Everything only gets worse when the pirate, Sinbad, steals Igborg.
But that's just the tiniest of problems. Mithra has an enchanted ruby from my family vault and is gaining power daily. I must save Abudar and find a way stop her before Mithra does something she's going to regret.
With the throne, and entire kingdom, now at risk I'm faced with the most critical choice of my life: follow in my father's footsteps, or accept my destiny and become a sentinel.
None of us expected Mithra's power would explode.
Who are you destined to be? Find out in this adventure-packed retelling of Aladdin!
