Synopsis
The camels are quiet and the stars are piercing the dark tent of heaven. The djinni claps his hands and the firelight flashed on his talons. "We can show you marvels," he says. "Cliffs wrought of diamonds, seas that have never known sunlight, wise serpents, flying horses, far oases where live the fai-haired descendants of Iskandar himself. You have but to listen, and let the mind fly free..."
