BOTTLED:
At seventeen, Adeelah Naji is transformed into a genie
and imprisoned in a bottle. For a thousand years, she fulfills the wishes of
greedy masters—building their palaces, lining their pockets with gold, and
granting them every earthly pleasure. All that sustains her is the hope of
finding Karim, the boy she fell in love with as a human. When at last she finds
a note from her beloved, she confirms he has access to the elixir of life and
that he still searches for her.
But someone else also hunts her. Faruq—the man who plots to use her powers to murder and seize the life forces of others—is just one step behind her. With the help of a kind master named Nathan, Adeelah continues to search for Karim while trying to evade Faruq. To complicate matters, she begins to experience growing fatigue and pain after conjuring, and finds herself struggling against an undeniable attraction to Nathan.
As Faruq closes in, Adeelah must decide just how much she’ll risk to protect Nathan and be with Karim forever. How much power does she really have to change her future, and what is she willing to sacrifice for an eternity of love? If she makes the wrong choice, the deaths of many will be on her hands.
Advanced Praise for BOTTLED:
“Bottled has everything you could want in a story: humor, suspense, action, and romance. The twists kept me glued to the pages.”
