The Golden Scarab of Balihar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798223248927)

Magic made her wish come true. Now she'll need magic to undo it.

In a kingdom surrounded by the ever-flowing sands of ancient Persia, sixteen-year-old Zahra dreams of attending the sultan's lavish events rather than serving at them. Until she crashes headlong into the mysterious prince. Then she just dreams of the prince. Too bad she has no poise, position, or charm to catch his eye. To win his affection would take a miracle. Or magic...

When Zahra interrupts a love spell meant for the vizier's daughter, the prince falls for her instead. Zahra gets her wish but incurs the wrath of the vizier, and now he wants her head. Fleeing for her life, Zahra seeks the mythical Golden Scarab of Balihar, desperately hoping the power of the jinni within can shield her from his vengeance. But when she learns the extent of his plan, she'll have to decide whether to save herself, her prince, or the entire kingdom.
