The Stolen Kingdom: An Aladdin Retelling by Bethany Atazadeh

She was never meant to have magic. Now she'll risk everything to get rid of it. Arie spends her life preparing to rule her kingdom one day-until she develops a forbidden ability to hear thoughts. This Gift isn't just dangerous, it's a death sentence. If anyone discovers she has Jinni magic, she could lose her crown... and her life. When a ruthless king threatens to force her into marriage and expose her secrets, Arie has no choice but to run. Her only shot at survival lies in finding a Jinni powerful enough to take back the magic that should've never been hers. But when her path collides with a handsome thief chasing the very same Jinni, she's dragged into a daring castle heist where hiding the truth becomes nearly impossible. He wants revenge. She wants her freedom. Neither planned to fall for the other, but now this charming Jinni hunter might be her only hope. The Stolen Kingdom is a no-spice romantasy Aladdin retelling and the first book in a complete four-book series filled with mythical creatures, magical heists, forbidden power, and slow-burn romance. If you love clever heroines, charming thieves, and fairytales with a twist, this enchanting adventure will steal your heart. Read more
