Nocterem

As a Sheikha betrothed to a wealthy Sheikh, Yasmina knows how to behave. She wears rustling silk, curtsies when appropriate, and frequently yells at her fourth-best maid.

She is not supposed to climb mountains. She is certainly not supposed to battle scorpions, ride monsters, or negotiate with evil lamps.

But when Yasmina decides to leave Palace Djinlath and strike out for a mythical realm called Nocterem, she discovers that there are better things than being a Sheikha.
