Nura and the Immortal Palace
Nura and the Immortal Palace

Pakistani miner's mystical journey among deceptive jinn.

"Nura and the Immortal Palace" isn't just a typical fantasy adventure; it's deeply rooted in the harsh realities of child labor in the mica mines of Pakistan, which adds an unexpected layer of depth to Nura's escapades. Maeeda Tariq Khan marries real-world issues with the beguiling folklore of jinn, creating a narrative that's as thought-provoking as it is magical. If you're ready to be whisked away on a carpet ride that deftly weaves social commentary with supernatural intrigue, this is your next read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A magical and pacy middle-grade debut following a young girl's adventure from real-world Pakistan into the world of the jinn. Nura has worked all her life in the mica mines, earning just enough to keep her family afloat – and enjoy the odd delicious gulab jamun from the market. Some day she’s going to find the Demon’s Tongue, a legendary treasure buried deep in the mines, and her family will never have to worry about money again. But when a terrible accident buries her best friend below ground, Nura goes in search of him and passes over into the magical and terrible world of the jinn. Across a pink sea and under a purple sky, she finds her way to a palace, where great riches and a whole new life are on offer. But it’s not long before Nura discovers this world to be as unfair as the real one, and that trickster jinns will always live up to their reputation…
