Arabian Nights Lost: Celestial Verses I is the first part of an epic romantic adventure fantasy trilogy set in the golden age of the classical Arabian tales. Richly researched and deeply seeped in Arabian and Sassanian mythology, folklore and tradition it is culturally and historically authentic and exceedingly reverent to Islam. At its heart is the story of forbidden love between Yusuf, a Roman galley slave, and Jamila, a Jinni and Princess of the Sea from the mysterious Isle of Pearl. A conjuring Grand Vizier demands the princess in marriage for his landed king and their fabulous adventures just begin. | Arabian Nights Lost by Joseph Covino, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
