What should have been an easy-in, easy-out job with my father became a nightmare when he was arrested by the soldiers of Zunbar. As if things couldn't get any more complicated, my estranged mother has demanded I enter the Desert Trials and find the magic lamp hidden inside the Dragon's Lair cave. The Desert Trails: a series of ten tasks to prove a sorceress's proficiency in the art of magic. How hard could it be? Only, I wasn't blessed with the gift of magic. Surviving the trials is only part of the problem. I've inadvertently partnered with Prince "Abu" and he's bent on taking the magic lamp from me. I'm not about to let some dashing prince steal my father's freedom. 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.
