The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war. Daevabad has fallen. 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 bloodletting 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. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her human 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. Seeking support in his mother's homeland, he discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship with Nahri, but his very faith. 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.

In Daevabad, where djinn can summon flames with a snap of their fingers, where rivers run deep with ancient magic, and blood can be as dangerous as any spell, a clever con artist from Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom. Nahri's life changed forever when she accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one of her schemes. Thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad, she needed all of her grifter instincts to survive. Now, as Nahri embraces her heritage and her power, she must forge a new path. Exiled for daring to defy his father, Ali is adrift on the unforgiving sands of his ancestral land, hunted by assassins and forced to rely on frightening new abilities that threaten to reveal a terrible family secret. And as a new century approaches and the djinn gather within Daevabad's brass walls to celebrate, a power in the desolate north will bring a storm of fire straight to the city's gates

Wkrocz do magicznego miasta, w którym przyszłość królestwa spoczywa w rękach sprytnej i buntowniczej oszustki! Nahri nigdy nie wierzyła w magię. Jest oszustką o niezrównanym talencie, żyjącą na ulicach XVIII- wiecznego Kairu. Wie lepiej niż ktokolwiek inny, że jej profesja - odczyty z dłoni, czary, uzdrowienia - to wszystko sztuczki i sposób na zmanipulowanie osmańskiej szlachty. Ale kiedy Nahri przypadkowo przywołuje równie przebiegłego, mrocznego i tajemniczego wojownika - dżina, jest zmuszona zaakceptować fakt, że magiczny świat, o którym myślała, że istnieje tylko w opowieściach z dzieciństwa, jest prawdziwy. Wojownik bowiem opowiada jej historię o legendarnym Daevabad, mieście z mosiądzu, z którym Nahri jest nieodwołalnie związana. Kiedy Nahri decyduje się wkroczyć do nowego świata, dowiaduje się, że prawdziwa moc jest zaciekła i brutalna. Tam magia nie może jej uchronić przed niebezpieczną polityczną siecią, a nawet najsprytniejszy plan może mieć śmiertelne konsekwencje. W końcu jest powód, dla którego mówi się: uważaj, czego sobie życzysz.
