Hi. Thank you. So, what inspired me to write this book were the following: that (1) there weren’t much action adventure or fantasy horror featuring djinn accurately and (2) people in the West tend to confuse them with demons and I wanted a story that (3) explores if people could trap djinn, how would they do it, and what moral struggles would they face? Would they be the heroes they aspire to be or end up becoming the villains they detest.
Regarding the third reason, I’ve wanted to write a story about Muslims who perform exorcisms on jinn but then end up trapping them as well due to the trauma of possession. And the moral dilemma regarding that, especially as it is deemed not needed by Islam is discussed in the book.
