If you would have asked me a year ago if genies existed and that I was one of them, I would have given you the directions to the nearest mental institution. But here I am, starting my second year at the Academy for the Exceptionally Gifted, or as I call it, Jinn Academy, a school for genies that teaches them how to control their powers so that they can live peacefully in the human world. But unlike last year, I'm expected to put my life on the line in the Jinn Trials, where many genies have died facing monsters that most people could only dream of. And all to prove my worthiness in the jinn society. Please, as if I-Mercedes Davenport-really have to prove myself of anything. There's no way they could force me to do something so barbaric, could they? And if so, would I really be able to survive?

The Sinitic Civilization A Factual History through the Lens of Archaeology, Bronzeware, Astronomy, Divination, Calendar and the Annals The book covered the time span of history of the Sinitic civilization from antiquity, to the 3rd millennium B.C. to A.D. 85. A comprehensive review of history related to the Sinitic cosmological, astronomical, astrological, historical, divinatory, and geographical developments was given. All ancient Chinese calendars had been examined, with the ancient thearchs' dates examined from the perspective how they were forged or made up. The book provides the indisputable evidence regarding the fingerprint of the forger for the 3rd century A.D. book Shang-shu (remotely ancient history), and close to 50 fingerprints of the forger of the contemporary version of The Bamboo Annals. Using the watershed line of Qin Emperor Shihuangdi's book burning of 213 B.C., the book rectified what was the original history before the book burning, filtered out what was forged after the book burning, sorted out the sophistry and fables that were rampant just prior to the book burning, and validated the history against the records in the oracle bones, bronzeware, and bamboo slips. The book covers 95-98% and more of the contents in the two ancient history annals of The Spring Autumn Annals and The Bamboo Annals. There are dedicated chapters devoted to interpreting Qu Yuan's poem Asking Heaven (Tian Wen), the mythical book The Legends of Mountains & Seas (Shan Hai Jing), geography book Lord Yu's Tributes (Yu Gong), and Zhou King Muwang's Travelogue (Mu-tian-zi Zhuan). The book has appendices of two calendars: the first anterior quarter remainder calendar (247 B.C.-104 B.C./247 B.C.-85 A.D.) of the Qin Empire, as well as a conversion table of the sexagenary years of the virtual Yin-li (Shang dynasty) quarter remainder calendar versus the Gregorian calendar, that covers the years 2698 B.C. to 2018 A.D. Book I stops about the midpoint of the 242 years covered in Confucius' abridged book The Spring & Autumn Annals (722-481 B.C.). Book II stops at Han Emperor Zhangdi (Liu Da, reign A.D. 76-88; actual reign Aug of A.D. 75-Feb of A.D. 88), with the A.D. 85 adoption of the Sifen-li posterior quarter remainder calendar premised on reverting to the sexagenary years of the virtual Yin-li (Shang dynasty) quarter remainder calendar, a calendar disconnected from the Jupiter's chronogram, that was purportedly invented by the Confucians on basis of Confucius' identifying the 'qi-lin' divine giraffe animal and wrapping up the masterpiece The Spring & Autumn Annals two years prior to death.

JD, Morgan, and Blake are ten-year-old junior genie triplets. They’ve spent all their lives inside an amethyst bottle with their mother and father, Aristede and Cassidy. They become suddenly interested in the outside world when they view a young girl through the window of their genie bottle; they soon learn her name is Brianna. Brianna has come to visit her grandparents, the owners of the genie jar. She feels drawn to the beautiful bottle, and when she pops the cork, she becomes the master of the genies inside. The triplets are mischievous, though, and they plan to trick Brianna into using all her wishes right away. Their mischief goes too far when Brianna finds herself trapped inside their bottle. The boys are happy to introduce her to the world of the jinn. They show her genie mail, flying camel races, and even a game called JinJi. On the boys’ eleventh birthday, they receive a mysterious pentagonal box. Opening the strange gift is a riddle, but it seems the box could have the power to send Brianna home; if not, she could be stuck in the bottle forever.
