   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?

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. There, she must rely on her cunning to navigate the treacherous politics of a kingdom where her heritage is both a gift and a curse. 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. This force seeks a warrior caught between conflicting worlds, grappling with a violent duty and a peace he fears he may never attain.
