Discover this spellbinding debut from Sunday Times bestseller S.A. Chakraborty.
‘An extravagant feast of a book – spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable’ Laini Taylor, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author
Among the bustling markets of eighteenth century Cairo, the city’s outcasts eke out a living swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike.
But alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert, full of enchantment, desire and riches. Where magic pours down every street, hanging in the air like dust.
Many wish their lives could be filled with such wonder, but not Nahri. She knows the trades she uses to get by are just tricks and sleights of hand: there’s nothing magical about them. She only wishes to one day leave Cairo, but as the saying goes…
Be careful what you wish for.

Heerlijk verhaal. Zo’n boek waarvan je halverwege al weet; ok, dit wil ik gewoon hébben. Niet luisteren; hébben. Nu.

Awesome book that does not fall into the simplistic narratives of good guys and bad guys. Everybody has flaws and the factions presented in this book all have them too, and not one jumps out over the other. The characters are well rounded and believable. I loved it!

Ben twee keer opnieuw begonnen. Alle namen en wie is nu wie ook alweer. Maar na een paar hoofdstukken pakte het boek mij en werd het verhaal super! Op naar deel twee..

Pretty good book, starts with some good action, then more political. But it manages to krep you hooked.On to the next part!
