For four thousand years, Ishmar the Genie has survived arrogant pharaohs, Roman warlords, medieval witch-hunters, Victorian egomaniacs, and every wish-induced catastrophe imaginable.
He has seen civilizations rise, burn, and rebuild—all while turning mortals' desires into cosmic punchlines.
But nothing prepares him for Bryce: a hoodie-wearing, flat-affect, government-conspiracy-skeptic modern man who accidentally summons him… and then refuses to make a single wish.
Part satire, part heartfelt myth, and entirely unhinged, The Price of Freedom explores what happens when an immortal being faces the one thing he never expected:
Life without magic—and the terrifying possibility he may have to become human again.
