The City of Brass
by S. A. Chakraborty
(The Daevabad Trilogy, Book 1)
In 18th century Cairo, Nahri survives by swindling Ottoman nobles with her gift for languages and her talent for fake magic. But when a con goes dangerously wrong, she accidentally summons a powerful djinn warrior—and discovers that her "gift" might be something far more real and dangerous than she ever imagined.
Whisked away to Daevabad, the legendary City of Brass, Nahri finds herself thrust into a world of ancient magic, deadly court politics, and a centuries-old conflict between djinn tribes. Caught between warring factions and her own mysterious heritage, she must navigate treacherous alliances and impossible choices in a city where magic is power and secrets can be lethal.
S. A. Chakraborty weaves Islamic history, mythology, and djinn lore into an epic fantasy that feels both timeless and urgent. With richly drawn characters, intricate world-building, and political intrigue that rivals the best of epic fantasy, The City of Brass is the stunning opening to a trilogy that redefines what fantasy can be.
Perfect for readers who loved The Poppy War, The Priory of the Orange Tree, or anyone seeking immersive fantasy with complex characters and cultures rooted in non-Western traditions.
