They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count.

Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the…

Don‘t forget about my book 😀

Wishes and Loopholes

By M A Andrach ,

Book cover of Wishes and Loopholes

What is my book about?

You get three wishes. Better make them count.
If a Djinn granted you three wishes, what would you ask for? Riches? Immortality? World peace? More wishes? Really?

Wrong.

You’d overthink it, try to be clever – and end up legally bound to turn into a goat. Djinn are ancient, cunning, and terrifyingly literal. That’s why we invented Djinn Law: an entire legal field built to navigate wish contracts and keep the world (mostly) intact.

Enter Elias Trenholm, a junior solicitor stuck at the bottom of the hierarchy at Albright & Rune, a firm specialising in Djinn contract law. When a rare high-profile case finally lands in his lap, one honest mistake activates an ancient clause – and silences the world’s legal system. All lawyers lose their ability to practise. Except Elias.

Now the only lawyer left, Elias must navigate ancient contracts, cursed pursuers, and family fallout with only a sharp colleague, a morally ambiguous Djinn guide, and his own unravelling past to help him. Clearing his name – and fixing the world – might mean facing the possibility that none of this was ever an accident.
