Khadija loves the ancient tales of jinn and renegade princesses... but real life is closing in and her destiny as a ghad an girl is marriage and boredom. When her father arranges a match, Khadija leaps at the chance of escape - a rogue hot air balloon fighting its ropes for the sky. Soon, Khadija is flying over the desert sands, away from everything she knows.Khadija finds an unlikely ally in a poor young glassmaker's apprentice, Jacob.
But soon, a deadly revolution threatens their friendship and their world. The oppressed, pale-skinned hari are restless - their infamous terrorist group, the Hareef, have a new, fearsome leader. And the ruling ghad ans are brutal in their repression. As the Hareef exploit forbidden magic - summoning jinn to aid their fight - Jacob and Khadija must choose what kind of a world they want to live in and how to make it a reality.
Aneesa Marufu lives in Manchester and was the winner of the Kimberley Chambers Kickstart Prize for underrepresented writers in 2019. Her debut novel is inspired by her South Asian heritage and her obsession with hot air balloons, though she is yet to fly in one!
When she isn't dreaming up stories set in the clouds, she has both feet on the ground, running after her two children or hunting for her next fantasy book to escape into.
