One faithful day Henry Tsien finds a briefcase and a ring within it. Within hours, his world has changed as a helpful jinn introduces him to a hidden world. What can an old-school gamer given magic do in a world filled with age-old, hidden, supernatural creatures?
The Hidden Wishes series is an urban fantasy take on the GameLit genre. It is much lighter in terms of 'statistics' and its game system. This is the full trilogy of the series.
Books include:
- A Gamer’s Wish - A Squire’s Wish - A Jinn’s Wish

This is not my usual reading genre but after reading Tao’s Intro, I just had to have a look. The characters are so believable. Very enjoyable reading. It was difficult to put down. Now…… what do we do for an Encore? Hopefully, there WILL be a sequel. Thank you for the series
