This is the Novella that I am working on now. I’ll be adding bits and pieces of the story on this my Blog site and on my Author site as time goes on. I am aiming for a March 1, 2018, release.

Prologue

 

There was a magician who had great wealth, land, and merchandise. One day an affair of great importance was offered to him and it was a considerable distance from his homelands.He left on horseback and started out with only a cloak and a bag into which, put a few biscuits and dates.

Then five days after his journey started he found he had very little left to eat and drink. He came to the realization that he was not on the right road. He was overtaken by heat, thirst, and hunger. He found some trees and a fountain and stopped to rest and drink. He alighted, and tying his horse to a branch of the tree, sat down on its bank to eat some biscuits and dates from his little store. He fell to his knees and praying to Allah, he asked for guidance and help. He knew that without Allah’s help he could no longer travel and would be dead before anyone would be looking for him. He was still on his knees when he saw a Djinn,  coming toward him.  As soon as he was close to him he said in a most terrible tone: “Get up, that I may kill you with this scimitar, as you have murdered my brother”.These words came out of his mouth with a piercing, bellowing tone that could be heard for miles.

The magician was scared by the horrible giant of a Djinn as well as by the words he heard. “Was your brother  KAMBUJIYAI? Then, yes I have slain him.
