When the city went dark, twelve-year-old Belo used his family’s black lantern. He just didn’t know that it was a magical gateway to a world full of jinn and unknown creatures. Now he’s trapped in the Land of Deception, where the first jinn rules and other royal houses who want to seize control of the strata crossing. Belo wants to find his family and get back home, but he needs to choose a side and survive the trials. If he fails the trials, he won’t just die. He’ll be trapped inside the lantern forever.
