The Princess of Dhagabad

By Anna Kashina
The Princess of Dhagabad by Anna Kashina digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

THE CURSE OF ABSOLUTE POWER. THE MAGIC OF TRUE LOVE.

When, on the day of her age-coming, the princess opens a mysterious bronze bottle—a gift from her grandmother—she has no idea that she is about to unleash a power older than the world itself. Worse, she is not prepared for the bearer of this power to be a handsome man whose intense gray eyes pierce her very soul. Hasan, her new slave, is immeasurably older and stronger than anyone she has ever heard of, and he is now hers to command—if she can handle him, that is.

Sensuous and delightfully intelligent, The Princess of Dhagabad is the first book in a trilogy by a talented new author.

"Truly compelling" -- Booklist

"A fine recasting of Arabian Nights material into a fable for our times." -- Locus

The Princess of Dhagabad Reviews

3.0
“An interesting read. Kashina explores a world of magic and mystery unlike other books I've read before. I was drawn into the innocence of the princess and her relationship with her role/status in the world. The princess wants to learn about her world and finds that the only one who understands her passion for learning is Hasan, a djinn slave gifted to her by her grandmother. The two build a friendship that grows as they explore stories and places from the past and present. At times, the narrative felt long. At times, scenes flew by. Some scenes were unnecessary, especially when the sultan is spending time in his harem. I don't need those details. Other times, I got annoyed by the amount of times the characters said each others' names. "Hasan!" "Princess." "But Hasan," "Yes, Princess." "Hasan!" ad infinitum. When the princess's real name was revealed, I didn't feel any weight to it--I'd hoped when her name was revealed it would be something that would change the perspective of the story a bit. Instead, the ending felt quick and abrupt. There's a grand moment, and then its over. What about the repercussions? I don't like when books just throw general acceptance over a huge decision and calls it quits. The princess makes a hard choice, and there are going to be side effects Overall, an interesting adventure with unique perspectives. I can't say I'd read it again or am completely drawn into another book in this series, but the book had some delightful moments.”
