Khaled, once a genie, is granted a human form and a mortal soul on one condition: he must win the love of a cold princess, or be lost forever.

F. Marion Crawford's 1891 novel is a gorgeous Arabian Nights fantasy of a spirit made man in pursuit of a human heart and salvation. Lush, romantic, beautifully told. Read it for an exquisite Oriental romance of love, faith, and the soul, from a master storyteller of his age.
