Book Description
A street rat. A magic lamp. An obnoxiously handsome prince. Stealing a golden serpent should have been an easy-in, easy-out mission with my father. Instead, he was captured by the soldiers of Zunbar. I thought the only chance of freeing him was to get arrested too, but he was moved to the palace prison. Now, my only hope is to join the Desert Trials and find the magic lamp hidden inside the Dragon's Lair cave. Ten tasks to prove my proficiency in the art of magic. How hard could it be? Only, I've never used magic in my entire life. Surviving the trials is only part of the problem. I've inadvertently partnered with Prince "Abubu" and he's bent on reaching the magic lamp before his sister. The lamp with a jinni inside willing to give just one wish is my birth right, and I'm not about to let a dashing prince reach it before me. 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. With the chance to make a single wish, can a street rat finally prove her worth? Find out in this adventure-packed retelling of Aladdin!

Once upon a time, there was a horrible girl... Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother’s love—and she’s on the hook for one hell of a debt. Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele's dutiful servant up until a year ago. That was when Vanja’s otherworldly mothers demanded a terrible price for their care, and Vanja decided to steal her future back... by stealing Gisele’s life for herself.

Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape.

Vanja has just two weeks to figure out how to break her curse and make her getaway. And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele’s sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on Vanja’s tail, she’ll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life.
