This is the first episode of a whole new cycle that chronologically takes place between the Ottoman and African cycles. This time we're swept off to colonial India.

The Rani wishes for Jade to initiate the future bride of the young Maharajah, the daughter of the rebel Radjah Sing, to the art of love.

But there appears to be a strange presence in the palace. That presence turns out to be a child, who shows herself to no one but... the Djinn...
