The City of Brass: Spellbinding fantasy debut from the Sunday Times bestseller (The Daevabad Trilogy, Book 1)

Discover this spellbinding debut from Sunday Times bestseller S.A. Chakraborty. ‘An extravagant feast of a book – spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable’ Laini Taylor, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Among the bustling markets of eighteenth century Cairo, the city’s outcasts eke out a living swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike. But alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert, full of enchantment, desire and riches. Where magic pours down every street, hanging in the air like dust. Many wish their lives could be filled with such wonder, but not Nahri. She knows the trades she uses to get by are just tricks and sleights of hand: there’s nothing magical about them. She only wishes to one day leave Cairo, but as the saying goes… Be careful what you wish for. Chakraborty's historical and supernatural epic, The City of Brass, is a fantastical adventure that transports readers to the enchanting world of eighteenth-century Cairo. The Sunday Times bestselling author masterfully blends reality and fantasy in this captivating tale. For fans of Brandon Sanderson (Rhythm of War), Samantha Shannon (The Mask Falling), Carissa Broadbent (The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King), Fonda Lee (Jade City), and Leigh Bardugo (The Familiar).
