She has been raised in seclusion due to a prophecy that she would marry the first person she meets other than her father.
She then introduces herself as Flower-in-the-Night, daughter of the Sultan of Zanzib. He finds himself in a garden with a lovely woman. Abdullah then finds that the carpet is a magic carpet and takes him to places that replicate his dreams (since he dreams of being a long lost prince). He buys a carpet from a man, who claims that the carpet is magical. The novel begins with Abdullah, a young carpet merchant living in a baazar in the city of Zanzib. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending. There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. In this stunning sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. In his dreams he was not the son of his father, but the long-lost son of a prince. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer.
