In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A gardener begins to levitate, and a powerful jinn -- also known as the Princess of Fairyland -- raises an army composed entirely of her semi- magical great-great-great-grandchildren. A baby is born with the ability to see corruption in the faces of others. The ghosts of two philosophers, long dead, begin arguing once more. And a battle for the kingdom of Fairyland is waged throughout our world for 1,001 nights -- or, to be more precise, for two years, eight months, and twenty- eight nights.
