    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.

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.
