Nahri is a con artist in 18th century Egypt who doesn't believe in magic but she is the first one to use it to make a buck. When a con goes wrong and a smoking hot djiin is summoned and they both end up in pursuit ,Dara takes her to the magical city of Daevabad - the City of Brass. Nahri will soon realize that she indeed does possess magic in the healing arts but she will find herself needing to trust for the first time in her life and once again, her life will depend on taking the right gamble. The city is due for major upheaval and Nahri could be used as a political pawn. Aside from the magical hot desert sands, a lush new world of sights and food, witty banter and the quintessential love triangle - S.A. Chakraborty does for middle eastern folklore what Deborah Harkness did for witches and vampires. You will find yourself as I did, in breathless anticipation for the next book.
