The Kingdom Written in Sand and Time: Part One

By Ashfaq Ahmad

For centuries, the four great dominions of the jinn- Aramin, Rakh'aan, Qazaar, and the hidden city of Panjshir- have survived on uneasy borders, stitched together by ancient fear and older rivalries. But when one secret mission sparks a war between two powerful sultanates, a chain of events is set into motion that threatens the entire realm.

Far away, unaware of the storm rising, a young human heir, Rayyaan Afridi, crosses paths with Ghazal, a jinn girl born under a prophecy. Together, they must navigate forbidden landscapes, aerial hunts, collapsing alliances, mystical clans, haunted valleys, immortal warriors, and the terrifying might of Shah Alam- the unkillable tyrant who holds Panjshir in iron rule.

But the true danger lies deeper.

A centuries-old curse- born from a forgotten pact between humans and jinn- is awakening again. Bloodlines intertwined by betrayal, vanished empires, the legend of Al'Tunia, and a prophecy of a union that will decide the fate of both worlds... everything converges upon their lives.

From the Persian sands to snow-veiled mountains, from mystic hermits to cursed forests, The Kingdom Written in Sand and Time blends folklore, fantasy, romance, and spiritual intrigue into an epic saga that explores destiny, sacrifice, inheritance, and the fragile bridge between human and jinn realms.
