When their wisdom teeth appear, twelve-year-old twins John and Philippa Gaunt develop extraordinary magical gifts. They travel to London to meet their wildly eccentric djinn-uncle, Nimrod, who, after teaching them to harness their new power, sends them to find Akhenaten, a long-dead pharaoh, and his tomb, in hopes of rescuing seventy lost djinn trapped there. They are soon engaged in a battle with Iblis, the most wicked djinn of all. Book one of The Children of the Lamp series.
