About this series
Winston’s got rhythm, just not one that anyone else dances to. If he can’t get his own off-beat magic sorted out, he’ll have a rough time taking over his deceased mother’s beloved dance school. A trip to the Ship of Wonders, the one sailing ship in the world where true magic can flourish, could reveal the catalyst he needs to find his footing. If only the magical cacophony on deck didn’t affect his stomach even worse than the pitch of the sea!

Why does a two-thousand-year-old djinn own a convenience store and spice shop in Manhattan? The world has changed, for one thing, and Wadid isn’t proud of some of the things he’s done in the past.

That’s all well and good until two gunmen burst through the front door and threaten him and one of his customers. Wadid breaks his personal code and uses his darkest ability to make them go away. Not that it matters. Because the next person who walks through the door is the last person he would wish for. “What You Wish For” is part of Uncollected Anthology, Volume 6: Enchanted Emporiums.
