The Empire of Gold

by S. A. Chakraborty
(The Daevabad Trilogy, Book 3)

Daevabad has fallen—and the fate of a magical world hangs in the balance. In this sweeping finale, Nahri and Ali are cast far from the city they love while a ruthless usurper consolidates power. To save Daevabad, they must uncover ancient truths, forge dangerous alliances, and decide how much they are willing to sacrifice.

Across deserts, ruined palaces, and hidden oases, old enemies return, forbidden magic awakens, and long-buried histories come to light. Every choice carries a cost; every victory leaves a scar. As the djinn world fractures, Nahri and Ali face a reckoning that will reshape not just Daevabad, but themselves.

S. A. Chakraborty brings her epic to a thrilling, emotionally resonant conclusion—rich in Islamic history and folklore, full of political intrigue, and alive with unforgettable characters. A triumphant end to a landmark fantasy trilogy.
