Return to Daevabad in the spellbinding sequel to THE CITY OF BRASS.
In Daevabad, where djinn can summon flames
with a snap of their fingers, where rivers run deep with ancient magic,
and blood can be as dangerous as any spell, a clever con artist from
Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom.
Nahri's life changed forever when she
accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one
of her schemes. Thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad, she
needed all of her grifter instincts to survive. Now, as Nahri embraces
her heritage and her power, she must forge a new path.
Exiled for daring to defy his father, Ali
is adrift on the unforgiving sands of his ancestral land, hunted by
assassins and forced to rely on frightening new abilities that threaten
to reveal a terrible family secret.
And as a new century approaches and the
djinn gather within Daevabad's brass walls to celebrate, a power in the
desolate north will bring a storm of fire straight to the city's gates .
