Embark on an epic adventure in "The Dragon and the Djinn," a 710,000-word interactive fantasy novel where your choices shape the narrative. This text-based experience, devoid of graphics or sound effects, relies entirely on your imagination.

A fearsome dragon plagues the magnificent city of Ghariba, the same beast that claimed the life of the previous emira. Now, Emir Alaaeldin reigns, hosting lavish feasts for the elite while unrest simmers beneath the surface. The dragon's attacks intensify daily.

You arrive in Ghariba searching for your sister, who absconded with the magical sword you crafted, believing it her destiny to vanquish the dragon. Fate, however, has other plans. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, presents you with an extraordinary and perilous gift: a djinn capable of fulfilling your wishes—as many as you dare to make. Beware, for the djinn's power is immense, and misusing it could lead to your downfall.

With the djinn at your command, various factions seek your assistance. You must utilize your intellect, eloquence, strength, and magic to navigate the intricate political landscape of the palace, the city, and the wider world.

Your choices are limitless:

• Will you aid your sister in protecting Ghariba?
• Will you slay the dragon yourself?
• Will you heed those who revere the dragon and seek its protection?
• Can you unravel the mystery behind the dragon's sudden emergence?
• Or will you exploit the chaos to amass unimaginable wealth?

Customize your character: choose your gender identity (male, female, or nonbinary), sexual orientation, and romantic preferences (including aromantic and asexual options).

Experience thrilling possibilities:

• Soar through the skies on a magic carpet.
• Harness the djinn's power to acquire information, wealth, and more—or liberate the djinn and uncover even greater wonders.
• Confront the dragon—either to defeat it or to understand its secrets.
• Forge your destiny as a powerful magician, a charismatic poet, a protector of the realm, or something far grander.
• Determine the fate of Emir Alaaeldin's rule, potentially seizing the throne yourself.
• Find love with a diverse cast of characters, including warriors, poets, prophets, priestesses, nobles, and even a djinn!

Remember: be cautious in your wishes. The consequences can be devastating.
