Panini Die Stadt aus Messing

CAIRO, LATE 18TH CENTURY.
Young Nahri earns her living by deceiving Ottoman nobles with medical sleight of hand, hoping for a carefree life. But when one of her rituals accidentally summons Dara, a cunning and mysterious djinn warrior, her life is thrown off course. Together with her unwilling ally, Nahri flees across hot windswept sands and rivers full of mythical creatures to Daevabad - the fabled city of brass - and home of the Djinn clans.

It is a city of magic and fire, where one's lineage can be as dangerous as any malevolent spell; a city where ancient grudges run deep and the royal court rules with an iron hand; a city to which Nahri is now irrevocably bound - and where her mere presence threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries ...

Volume 1 of the Daevabad Trilogy.
