An Emerald Sky cover

In An Emerald Sky, Khadija embarks on a daring quest to rescue her sister from the magical realm of Al-Ghaib, facing deception and danger.

In An Emerald Sky, Khadija's world is turned upside down when she discovers that her sister, Talia, has been kidnapped and taken to the magical realm of Al-Ghaib. This vibrant land, characterized by its emerald green skies, is filled with deception and trickery, challenging Khadija to summon all her courage and intelligence. As she embarks on a perilous quest to rescue Talia, she must navigate the complexities of this enchanting yet treacherous world, where nothing is as it seems and danger lurks at every corner.

The narrative unfolds in a dual perspective, intertwining Khadija’s heroic journey with Jacob's involvement in a political mystery that threatens the balance of power in their realm. The stakes are higher than ever as Khadija grapples with her feelings for Darian, who has returned from battle changed and distant. Their relationship is tested amidst the chaos, and Khadija must decide whether she can save her sister while also trying to mend the bond with the boy she loves.

An Emerald Sky is a captivating sequel to The Balloon Thief, filled with ancient djinn, epic adventures, and heart-wrenching romance. It explores themes of love, politics, equality, and racism within a richly developed South Asian-inspired fantasy world, making it a compelling read for fans of young adult fantasy.
