KAIRO, IM SPÄTEN 18. JAHRHUNDERT. Die junge Nahri verdient ihren Lebensunterhalt damit, osmanische Adlige mit medizinischen Taschenspielertricks zu betrügen, in der Hoffnung auf ein sorgenfreies Leben. Doch als sie bei einem ihrer Rituale versehentlich Dara herbeiruft, einen ebenso gerissenen wie mysteriösen Dschinn-Krieger, gerät ihr Leben aus allen Fugen. Zusammen mit ihrem unfreiwilligen Verbündeten flüchtet Nahri über heiße windgepeitschte Sande und Flüsse voller mythischer Kreaturen nach Daevabad – der sagenumwobenen Stadt aus Messing – und Heimstätte der Dschinn-Clans. Es ist eine Stadt voller Magie und Feuer, in der die eigene Abstammung so gefährlich sein kann wie jeder bösartige Zauber; eine Stadt, in der alte Ressentiments tief sitzen und der königliche Hof mit eiserner Hand regiert; eine Stadt, an die Nahri nun unwiderruflich gebunden ist - und in der ihre bloße Anwesenheit einen Krieg zu entfachen droht, der schon seit Jahrhunderten brodelt … Band 1 der Daevabad-Trilogie Die Daevabad-Trilogie im Überblick Band 1: Die Stadt aus Messing Band 2: Das Königreich aus Kupfer Band 3: Das Imperium aus Gold Erweiterung der Trilogie: Der Fluss aus Silber

S. A. Chakraborty continues the sweeping adventure begun in The City of Brass, immersing readers in a world where djinn wield flames and ancient magic flows through the waters. Nahri’s life was forever altered when she accidentally summoned Dara, a powerful djinn, propelling her from Cairo to the dazzling royal court of Daevabad. There, she must rely on her cunning to navigate the treacherous politics of a kingdom where her heritage is both a gift and a curse. With Daevabad reeling from a devastating battle, Nahri seeks a new path, aware that she is under the watchful eye of a king who occupies the throne once held by her family—any misstep could spell doom for her tribe. Meanwhile, Ali faces exile for opposing his father and is hunted by assassins across the harsh sands of his homeland. He must harness the unpredictable powers of the marid, the water spirits, but this could unearth dark family secrets. As the new century approaches and celebrations unfold within Daevabad's brass walls, an unseen threat looms from the desolate north. This force seeks a warrior caught between conflicting worlds, grappling with a violent duty and a peace he fears he may never attain.

EGITTO, XVIII SECOLO. Nahri non ha mai creduto davvero nella magia, anche se millanta poteri straordinari, legge il destino scritto nelle mani, sostiene di essere un’abile guaritrice e di saper condurre l’antico rito della zar. Ma è solo una piccola truffatrice di talento: i suoi sono tutti giochetti per spillare soldi ai nobili ottomani, un modo come un altro per sbarcare il lunario in attesa di tempi migliori. Quando però la sua strada si incrocia accidentalmente con quella di Dara, un misterioso jinn guerriero, la ragazza deve rivedere le sue convinzioni. Costretta a fuggire dal Cairo, insieme a Dara attraversa sabbie calde e spazzate dal vento che pullulano di creature di fuoco, fiumi in cui dormono i mitici marid, rovine di città un tempo maestose e montagne popolate di uccelli rapaci che non sono ciò che sembrano. Oltre tutto ciò si trova Daevabad, la leggendaria città di ottone. Nahri non lo sa ancora, ma il suo destino è indissolubilmente legato a quello di Daevabad, una città in cui, all’interno di mura metalliche intrise di incantesimi, il sangue può essere pericoloso come la più potente magia. Dietro le Porte delle sei tribù di jinn, vecchi risentimenti ribollono in profondità e attendono solo di poter emergere. L’arrivo di Nahri in questo mondo rischia di scatenare una guerra che era stata tenuta a freno per molti secoli.
