The richest city on earth sits behind walls as high as mountains. Dalia has spent her whole life starving in its shadow.
Seventeen-year-old Dalia and her family are Outlanders, stranded among thousands in the desert outside Goliath's Peak-a city of unimaginable wealth, protected by towering walls and the power of a Djinni who can grant almost any wish.
Dalia has stopped dreaming of getting inside. She's saving everything she can to escape.
Then a magical accident leaves her father shattered.
Saving him means doing the impossible: entering Goliath's Peak and reaching the Djinni. When Dalia fights her way to the golden gates, she's granted something she's long given up on-a chance to compete for citizenship.
But first, she must defeat two equally desperate champions in a series of deadly trials that will take them to a haunted mountain, a stolen river, and a platform high above the forest where only one will win.
As Dalia battles to save her family, she discovers the terrible secret behind the city's prosperity. And even if she can win citizenship, getting inside is only the beginning. The path to the Djinni is fiercely guarded, and if Dalia wants her wish, she'll have to find a way to reach the lamp.
Because in Goliath's Peak, even a wish has a price.
