A Prince of the Djinn: Beyond Midlife Magic by Allie McCormack tells the tale of Amanda, aka Mandy Dupont, a grounded and down-to-earth woman whose world is turned upside down when she acquires a mysterious pendant that houses the ancient and enigmatic Djinn prince, Kieran. Though powerful and impossibly beautiful, Kieran carries the burden of having lived through many centuries, leaving his heart dulled by time. That is, until Mandy’s light rekindles emotions he thought were lost forever. Their connection is immediate yet tender, built not on superficial attraction but on mutual recognition. These two souls, who have stepped back from life's chaos, find each other when they least expected it.
A Prince of the Djinn by Allie McCormack is a beautifully written paranormal romance that blends heartfelt emotion with magic and just a touch of realism. McCormack masterfully paints Mandy not as someone to pity, but rather as a woman with a fierce spirit, humour, and unfulfilled dreams. What makes A Prince of the Djinn truly extraordinary is how it embraces the realities of aging without letting it define the character’s worth or capabilities. Mandy's age and physical limitations are acknowledged, and through that, we see her true strength of will and the beauty of her soul. On the contrary, Kieran's timelessness shows the loneliness and emotional fatigue that immortality can bring. The contrast between these two characters makes the end of this novel that much more significant and impactful. I think this book really touches on love's ability to transcend time, one’s body, and expectations. This novel is truly a rare find in the world of fantasy romance, and I highly recommend it.
