S. A. Chakraborty Knihy

Nahrí nikdy nevěřila na magii, ačkoli sama oplývá jistým tajemným léčivým nadáním. Jako sirota vyrůstající v ulicích Káhiry 18. století se však rychle naučila, jak využít různé triky jako čtení z ruky či magické rituály ve svůj prospěch. Když ale během jednoho takového podvodu náhodou přivolá Daru, stejně prohnaného, záhadného džinského válečníka, musí své názory přehodnotit. Dara ji totiž vezme na neobyčejnou dobrodružnou výpravu. Za žhavými písky plnými ohnivých tvorů a řekami, v nichž spí bájní maridové, za troskami kdysi velkolepých lidských měst a horami, kolem nichž krouží ptáci z pověstí, leží Dévabád, legendární mosazné město a jediné místo, kde bude Nahrí v bezpečí. Přes Darovo varování před zradou číhající všude kolem Nahrí naváže přátelství s princem Alizajidem, který sní o tom, že napraví otcův zkorumpovaný režim. Brzy ovšem zjistí, že skutečná moc je surová a že ji ani magie nedokáže ochránit před nástrahami dvorské politiky. Opravdu je pro ni Dévabád tím nejbezpečnějším místem?

In the gripping conclusion of the Daevabad Trilogy, a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince unite to save their magical kingdom from civil war. Daevabad has been ravaged, its magic stripped away. Banu Manizheh, the Nahid leader, and her resurrected commander, Dara, must mend their fragile alliance and bring stability to a divided people. However, the loss of Nahri has awakened Dara's darkest demons, forcing him to confront painful truths and seek mercy from former foes. Meanwhile, Nahri and Ali, having escaped their perilous pasts and Daevabad's treacherous politics, find themselves in Cairo, grappling with their own challenges. Nahri enjoys the comforts of her human life but is tormented by the fate of those she left behind, now under a new tyrant's rule. Ali, too, feels the pull of his homeland and is determined to return to save his city and family. As he seeks support in his mother's land, he uncovers a deeper connection to the marid that jeopardizes his relationship with Nahri and tests his faith. With peace slipping away and old adversaries resurfacing, Nahri, Ali, and Dara realize that to reshape their world, they may need to confront those they once loved and make amends for past wrongs.

S. A. Chakraborty continues the sweeping adventure begun in The City of Brass, immersing readers in a world where djinn wield flames and ancient magic flows through the waters. Nahri’s life was forever altered when she accidentally summoned Dara, a powerful djinn, propelling her from Cairo to the dazzling royal court of Daevabad.

With Daevabad reeling from a devastating battle, Nahri seeks a new path, aware that she is under the watchful eye of a king who occupies the throne once held by her family—any misstep could spell doom for her tribe. Meanwhile, Ali faces exile for opposing his father and is hunted by assassins across the harsh sands of his homeland. He must harness the unpredictable powers of the marid, the water spirits, but this could unearth dark family secrets. As the new century approaches and celebrations unfold within Daevabad's brass walls, an unseen threat looms from the desolate north.

KAIRO, IM SPÄTEN 18. JAHRHUNDERT. Die junge Nahri verdient ihren Lebensunterhalt damit, osmanische Adlige mit medizinischen Taschenspielertricks zu betrügen, in der Hoffnung auf ein sorgenfreies Leben. Doch als sie bei einem ihrer Rituale versehentlich Dara herbeiruft, einen ebenso gerissenen wie mysteriösen Dschinn-Krieger, gerät ihr Leben aus allen Fugen. Zusammen mit ihrem unfreiwilligen Verbündeten flüchtet Nahri über heiße windgepeitschte Sande und Flüsse voller mythischer Kreaturen nach Daevabad – der sagenumwobenen Stadt aus Messing – und Heimstätte der Dschinn-Clans. Es ist eine Stadt voller Magie und Feuer, in der die eigene Abstammung so gefährlich sein kann wie jeder bösartige Zauber; eine Stadt, in der alte Ressentiments tief sitzen und der königliche Hof mit eiserner Hand regiert; eine Stadt, an die Nahri nun unwiderruflich gebunden ist - und in der ihre bloße Anwesenheit einen Krieg zu entfachen droht, der schon seit Jahrhunderten brodelt … Band 1 der Daevabad-Trilogie Die Daevabad-Trilogie im Überblick Band 1: Die Stadt aus Messing Band 2: Das Königreich aus Kupfer Band 3: Das Imperium aus Gold Erweiterung der Trilogie: Der Fluss aus Silber
