Bearer of the Pearls

Imagine if the king of evil genies was searching for you with deadly intent. Only through the tragic chance of becoming an orphan have you been saved . . . so far.

For teenager Wendy Adair, this is reality: no home, no parents, and no idea why a gang of genies is willing to kill her. Without intending it, she holds the key to a mystery that began with an ancient Islamic legend, and finishes with a bizarre pile of dead mussels and a dramatic duel between good and evil. To save herself, Wendy must draw on her untested inner strength and a heart that has been scarred by the death of her father. In the process she discovers a new family, and the meaning of love.
