You hold a djinn in a bottle. تمنى أمنية! Will you slay the dragon, or overthrow the emir? Or will you free the djinn, and accept the consequences?

" The Dragon and the Djinn " is a 710,000 word interactive Arab epic fantasy novel by Athar Fikry, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

A dragon terrorizes the grand city of Ghariba - the same dragon that slew the city's emira. Now a new emir, Alaaeldin, sits upon the throne. إنه يرمي أحزابًا فخمة للنبلاء بينما تتدفق الاضطرابات الدينية والاجتماعية تحت سطح المدينة - وكهجمات التنين المدمرة التي تتفاقم يومًا بعد يوم.

You have come to Ghariba in pursuit of your sister. She stole the magical sword that you made, claiming that it is her destiny to slay the dragon.

But your destiny finds you instead. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, hands you an unexplained gift, the most precious and dangerous thing of all: a djinn who will grant your every wish. (قد تتمنى عدة مرات كما تريد! الرغبة والأتمنى والرغبة ، حتى يكون لدى Djinn ما يكفي ، ويحلف كلماتك ضدك ، ويدمرك برغباتك الخاصة.)

With your djinn in your hands, every faction is now vying for your aid. You must use your wits, your words, your strength, and your magic to navigate the politics of the palace, the city, and even the world beyond.

How will you use your wishes? Will you protect Ghariba from the dragon by helping your sister? Will you slay the dragon yourself? Will you listen to those who consider it sacred and want to keep it safe? Will you be able to unravel the mystery behind the dragon's sudden appearance? Or will you simply take advantage of the chaos to make yourself the richest person in Ghariba?
