Synopsis
What happens when a genie wants to help people in ways magic never could? After centuries of enchanted servitude, Kamod longs to make a real difference in the lives of others. According to legend, only a truly content person can set him free. So, he packs up his caravan, leaving his safety of solitude, and sets off across the rustic countryside in search of someone genuinely happy. As the miles unfold, his guarded heart is cracked open by the companionship he encounters along the way: a cat determined to adopt him, a wise goblin monk, a mischievous imp, a dwarf devoted to rescuing her dragons, and a worldly couple who’s love language is a warm cup of coffee in the perfect mug. Yet the longer Kamod searches, the more futile his quest begins to feel. How can he find such a rare person, someone possibly more mythical than himself, when every wish starts with the present moment not being enough? Then again, when we feel most powerless, sometimes wishes come true in unexpected ways. Perfect for readers who love whimsical adventures, chosen family, animal companions, and hopeful stories of rediscovering joy and purpose.
