Embark on an epic adventure in "The Dragon and the Djinn," a 710,000-word interactive fantasy novel where your choices shape the destiny of Ghariba. This text-based game, fueled by your imagination, plunges you into a world of political intrigue, magical creatures, and perilous decisions.

A fearsome dragon, slayer of the city's former emira, now terrorizes Ghariba. Emir Alaaeldin reigns, hosting lavish feasts while unrest simmers beneath the surface. You arrive seeking your sister, who stole the magical sword you crafted, believing it her destiny to vanquish the beast.

Fate intervenes. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, bestows upon you an extraordinary gift: a djinn bound to grant your wishes. Use this power wisely; the djinn's patience is finite, and misdirected wishes can lead to your downfall.

Every faction seeks your alliance. Will you:

• Aid your sister in slaying the dragon?
• Confront the dragon yourself?
• Protect the dragon, believing it sacred?
• Unravel the mystery behind its sudden appearance?
• Exploit the chaos to amass wealth?

Customize your protagonist: male, female, non-binary; gay, straight, bisexual; cisgender, transgender; aromantic, asexual, or any combination. Your journey will include:

• Magical carpet rides.
• Wish-granting opportunities for information, wealth, and more, or the option to free the djinn.
• The choice to slay or save the dragon, potentially unlocking its secrets.
• The chance to become a grand magician, poet, protector, or something even greater.
• The possibility of influencing Emir Alaaeldin's reign, or even seizing the throne.
• Romantic possibilities with various characters, including a djinn!

Be cautious with your wishes—the consequences can be dire.
