Aladdin Relighted
Published: 3 Mar 2011
Description
Return to the magical land of the Arabian Nights. . . .
The end of “Aladdin of the Lamp” finds the cunning Aladdin ruler of a great kingdom. Now, many years have passed. . . .
Aladdin is older, richer and wiser. . . and heart broken. After losing his beloved wife and son to foul play, he resigns from being king and sets out to do what he does best. . . .
Now working as an anonymous relic hunter using the name Niddala (Aladdin spelled backwards), he’s hired by a desperate — and beautiful — noblewoman named Jewel to rescue her kidnapped son. Prince Zeyn, a powerful wizard from the magical land of Djinnland, has designs on Aladdin’s kingdom, and Jewel’s son is to be the final piece of a bloody plot to rule two worlds.
To save the boy and his kingdom, Aladdin soon realizes he must seek the aid of a once-powerful ally, the mighty Djinn of the Lamp. Unfortunately, the djinn is being held prisoner by Zeyn in Djinnland, a magical land full of dragons and ogres, magic carpets and magic castles. With time rapidly running out, Aladdin and Jewel will journey into a world far stranger than anything they had ever imagined, a world full of danger at every turn, a world in which they may never return. It will take all their cunning and wits to stay alive. . . but will they do so in time to save the djinn, her son, and a kingdom?
From bestselling authors Piers Anthony (Xanth) and J. R. Rain (Vampire for Hire), ALADDIN RELIGHTED is the first in a magical series featuring Aladdin and his Extraordinary Lamp.
