The Secret Gift Bethany Atazadeh

In the realm of Jinn, enchantments and magical abilities are conceived and often exploited. At 17-years-old, Jezebel has developed a powerful shape-shifting Gift-and she's determined to keep it a secret.




When her friends find a portal to the human world, she reluctantly follows. There, she's tempted to embrace her Gift. After all, no one but the humans will see. Unfortunately, one of her friends witnesses her secret, and he won't let it go. He pushes her to explore the full extent of her ability, no matter the cost.




But Jezebel hits her breaking point when he crosses a line. She has to decide if she'll continue letting others use her like she's always feared, or find a way to shift her future in a new direction.




THE SECRET GIFT is a villain origin story that can be read as a standalone, or before or after The Stolen Kingdom Series. Over a century before the evil Queen Jezebel crosses paths with Arie, Rena, and Nesrin, she's just an innocent Jinni girl... who was betrayed.
