John and Philippa thought they were just ordinary twins until their wisdom teeth were removed and suddenly inexplicable things began to happen. For John and Philippa are by no means typical twelve-year-olds: they are djinn. Before they know it, they find themselves in the midst of an incredible adventure. Their journey takes them to London, Egypt, and even to the North Pole as they seek to find the 70 missing djinn of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Only by doing so can John and Philippa protect humanity from the evil power of the Ifrit.
