Description
In eighteenth-century Cairo, Nahri survives by her wits—palm readings, zars, and healing “miracles” that are really just expertly practiced cons. But one fateful scheme summons a djinn warrior who drags her into Daevabad, the legendary city of brass, where enchantments, ancient grudges, and rival tribes shape every breath. As Nahri’s true heritage as a djinn healer surfaces, she’s pulled into court intrigue and a brewing rebellion that could ignite a war no spell can contain. Blending lush historical fantasy with high-stakes political maneuvering, the story explores power, identity, and the cost of choosing what you believe—told with S. A. Chakraborty’s signature cinematic worldbuilding and sharp, character-driven momentum.
