Bronzváros


Nahri sosem hitt a mágiában, de megvan a tehetsége hozzá: a 18. századi Kairó utcáin nem találni nála kiválóbb szélhámosnőt. Ám mindenkinél jobban tudja, hogy amivel a kenyerét keresi – tenyérjóslás, zár-szertartások, gyógyítás –, az egytől egyig szemfényvesztés, bűvészmutatvány, tanulható képesség. Eszköz arra a csodás célra, hogy kizsebelhesse az oszmán nemeseket. De amikor Nahri véletlenül megidézi maga mellé Dárát, a hozzá hasonlóan dörzsölt és sötéten rejtélyes dzsinn harcost, akkor kénytelen elismerni, hogy a varázsvilág – melyről szentül hitte, hogy csupán a gyerekmesékben létezik – valódi. Mert Dára megoszt vele egy lélegzetelállító történetet: a tűz lényeitől hemzsegő forró, szélfútta sivatagon és a rejtélyes máridok nyughelyének otthont adó folyókon, az egykor szemkápráztató emberi világvárosok romjain és a hegyeken túl – ahol még az égben köröző ragadozó madarak sem azok, aminek látszanak – terül el Dévábád, a legendás bronzváros, melyhez Nahrit eltéphetetlen kötelék fűzi. Dévábád bűbájokkal átitatott díszes bronzfalai és a hat dzsinntörzs kapui mögött régi ellentétek húzódnak. Amikor Nahri úgy dönt, hogy belép ebbe a világba, az érkezése egy évszázadok óta fortyogó háború kirobbanásával fenyeget. Nahri hamarosan kénytelen megtanulni, hogy az igazi hatalom kegyetlen és könyörtelen. Még a mágia sem védheti meg a nemesi intrikák veszélyes hálójától, és a legagyafúrtabb cselszövések is végzetes következményekkel járhatnak.

Mosazné město


Nahrí nikdy nevěřila na magii, ačkoli sama oplývá jistým tajemným léčivým nadáním. Jako sirota vyrůstající v ulicích Káhiry 18. století se však rychle naučila, jak využít různé triky jako čtení z ruky či magické rituály ve svůj prospěch. Když ale během jednoho takového podvodu náhodou přivolá Daru, stejně prohnaného, záhadného džinského válečníka, musí své názory přehodnotit. Dara ji totiž vezme na neobyčejnou dobrodružnou výpravu. Za žhavými písky plnými ohnivých tvorů a řekami, v nichž spí bájní maridové, za troskami kdysi velkolepých lidských měst a horami, kolem nichž krouží ptáci z pověstí, leží Dévabád, legendární mosazné město a jediné místo, kde bude Nahrí v bezpečí. Přes Darovo varování před zradou číhající všude kolem Nahrí naváže přátelství s princem Alizajidem, který sní o tom, že napraví otcův zkorumpovaný režim. Brzy ovšem zjistí, že skutečná moc je surová a že ji ani magie nedokáže ochránit před nástrahami dvorské politiky. Opravdu je pro ni Dévabád tím nejbezpečnějším místem?

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi


Shannon Chakraborty, the bestselling author of The City of Brass, launches a new trilogy of magic and mayhem with this tale of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artefacts and ancient mysteries, and one woman's quest to seize a final chance at glory... A pirate of infamy and one of the most storied and scandalous captains to sail the seven seas.

But when she's offered a job no bandit could refuse, she jumps at the chance for one final adventure with her old crew that will make her a legend and offers a fortune that will secure her and her family's future forever. Yet the deeper Amina dives the higher the stakes. For there's always risk in wanting to become a legend, to seize one last chance at glory, to savour just a bit more power...and the price might be your very soul.

After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people. But the death of his people and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara's dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies. Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad's deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. Though Nahri is finding peace in the rhythms of her old home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior, are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved...and take a stand for those they once hurt.
