The City of Brass
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Library Journal | Vulture | The Verge | SYFYWireStep into The City of Brass, the spellbinding epic fantasy debut from S. A. Chakraborty, an imaginative alchemy of The Golem and the Jinni, The Grace of Kings, and Uprooted, in which the future of a magical Middle Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever and defiant young con artist with miraculous healing gifts.Nahri has never believed in supernatural magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, this female protagonist is a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing—are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, this portal fantasy adventure catapults her into a world she's forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass-a hidden city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound.In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments and political intrigue run deep. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, her arrival threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries. Spurning Dara's warning of the treachery surrounding her, she embarks on a hesitant friendship with Alizayd, an idealistic prince who dreams of rebellion. All too soon, Nahri learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics in this high fantasy world. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences.

The Kingdom of Copper
S. A. Chakraborty continues the sweeping epic fantasy adventure begun in The City of Brass—"the best adult fantasy I’ve read since The Name of the Wind" (#1 New York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir)—conjuring a world where djinn summon flames with the snap of a finger and waters run deep with old magic; where blood can be dangerous as any spell, and a clever con artist from Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom.Nahri’s life changed forever the moment she accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one of her schemes. Whisked from her home in Cairo, she was thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad—and quickly discovered she would need all her grifter instincts to survive the political intrigue there. Now, with Daevabad entrenched in the dark aftermath of a devastating battle, Nahri must forge a new path for herself. But even as she embraces her hidden heritage and the power it holds, she knows she’s been trapped in a gilded cage, watched by a king who rules from the throne that once belonged to her family—and one misstep will doom her tribe..Meanwhile, the exiled prince Ali has been cast out for daring to defy his father. Hunted by assassins, adrift on the unforgiving copper sands of his ancestral land, he is forced to rely on the frightening abilities the marid—the unpredictable water spirits—have gifted him. But in doing so, he threatens to unearth a terrible secret his family has long kept buried.And as a new century approaches and the djinn gather within Daevabad's towering brass walls for celebrations, a threat brews unseen in the desolate north. It’s a force that would bring a storm of fire and ancient magic straight to the city’s gates . . . and one that seeks the aid of a warrior trapped between worlds, torn between a violent duty he can never escape and a peace he fears he will never deserve.

Das Imperium aus Gold
DAEVABAD IST GEFALLEN! Nachdem die Stadt durch eine brutale Eroberung ihrer Magie beraubt wurde, müssen die Anführerin der Nahid, Banu Manizheh, und ihr wiederauferstandener Heeresführer Dara versuchen, ihr zerrüttetes Bündnis zu kitten und ein zerstrittenes, kriegerisches Volk zu einen. Doch der Blutzoll des Angriffs auf die Stadt und der Verlust seiner geliebten Nahri haben die schlimmsten Geister aus Daras dunkler Vergangenheit entfesselt. Um sie auszulöschen, muss er sich unangenehmen Wahrheiten stellen und sich der Gnade derer ausliefern, die er einst als Feinde betrachtete. Nahri und Ali, die nur knapp mit dem Leben davongekommen sind und nun im Reich der Menschen Unterschlupf gefunden haben, müssen ebenfalls schwierige Entscheidungen treffen. Während Nahri in ihrem geliebten Kairo versucht, Frieden zu finden, wird sie von dem Wissen verfolgt, dass ihre treuesten Freunde und das Volk, das sie als Retterin betrachtet hat, einem neuen Tyrannen ausgeliefert sind. Auch Ali muss sich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes seinen inneren Dämonen stellen, denn seine Verbindung zu den Mariden geht tiefer als gedacht.Band 3 der Daevabad-TrilogieDie Daevabad-Trilogie im ÜberblickBand 1: Die Stadt aus MessingBand 2: Das Königreich aus KupferBand 3: Das Imperium aus GoldErweiterung der Trilogie: Der Fluss aus Silber

Das Königreich aus Kupfer
DAEVABAD - HAUPTSTADT DER DSCHINNS Das Leben der jungen Heilerin Nahri hat sich für immer verändert, als sie bei einem missglückten Ritual versehentlich den so geheimnisvollen wie betörenden Dschinnkrieger Dara beschwor. Sie gelangte mit seiner Hilfe nach Daevabad. Jetzt da sich die Heimstätte aller Dschinns in den Nachwehen einer verheerenden Schlacht befindet, steht Nahri vor der wichtigsten Entscheidung ihres Lebens. Doch wenn sie ihr Erbe - und damit gleichsam unermessliche Macht - annehmen sollte, wartet ein goldener Käfig auf sie - argwöhnisch beäugt von einem Herrscher, der auf jenem Thron sitzt, der einst Nahris Familie gehörte. Ein einziger Fehltritt genügt und ihr Volk ist dem Untergang geweiht. In der Zwischenzeit wurde Ali, der Sohn des Herrschers von Daevabad, verbannt, weil er es gewagt hat, sich seinem Vater zu widersetzen. Unbarmherzig von Attentätern gejagt kann er sich nur noch auf die beängstigenden Fähigkeiten verlassen, die ihm unberechenbare Wassergeister verliehen haben. Dabei droht er, ein schreckliches Geheimnis zu lüften, das seine Familie für immer vergraben wähnte ...Band 2 der Daevabad-TrilogieDie Daevabad-Trilogie im ÜberblickBand 1: Die Stadt aus MessingBand 2: Das Königreich aus KupferBand 3: Das Imperium aus GoldErweiterung der Trilogie: Der Fluss aus Silber
