BOTTLED:
At
seventeen, Adeelah Naji is transformed into a genie and imprisoned in a bottle.
For a thousand years, she fulfills the wishes of greedy masters—building their
palaces, lining their pockets with gold, and granting them every earthly
pleasure. All that sustains her is the hope of finding Karim, the boy she fell
in love with as a human. When at last she finds a note from her beloved, she
confirms he has access to the elixir of life and that he still searches for
her.
But someone else also hunts her. Faruq—the man who plots to use her powers to
murder and seize the life forces of others—is just one step behind her. With
the help of a kind master named Nathan, Adeelah continues to search for Karim
while trying to evade Faruq. To complicate matters, she begins to experience
growing fatigue and pain after conjuring, and finds herself struggling against
an undeniable attraction to Nathan.
As Faruq closes in, Adeelah must decide just how much she’ll risk to protect
Nathan and be with Karim forever. How much power does she really have to change
her future, and what is she willing to sacrifice for an eternity of love? If
she makes the wrong choice, the deaths of many will be on her hands.
