Klappentext

From George Jreije, author of the acclaimed Shad Hadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria series, comes the first book in a new high-stakes middle grade fantasy. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and the Rick Riordan Presents line!

Shy, eleven-year-old Bashir Boutros dreads going back to America after an amazing summer in Lebanon. He's always felt invisible back home, where he doesn't have any real friends. Then, Bashir makes a lucky discovery---a long-lost ring containing a jinn whose magical aura brings power to those who wield it.

But the ring's untold power makes Bashir a target for monsters---including Ali Adin, the world's most dangerous demon. When Ali Adin kidnaps Bashir's parents, Bashir joins forces with an ancient society sworn to protect the world from supernatural beings. Together, they set off on a race to stop Ali Adin from conquering the world as Bashir attempts to harness the ring's abilities.
