      Step into a spellbinding debut where the future of a magical Middle Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever young con artist with miraculous healing gifts. Nahri, a talented con woman in eighteenth-century Cairo, has always dismissed magic as mere trickery—her palm readings and healings are just clever ruses to survive. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she accidentally summons a darkly mysterious djinn warrior during one of her scams. This encounter forces her to reconsider everything she knows. The warrior shares an extraordinary tale of Daevabad, the legendary city of brass, teeming with mythical creatures and ancient ruins, to which Nahri finds herself irrevocably tied. Within Daevabad's gilded walls, old resentments simmer among the six djinn tribes, and a young prince harbors dreams of rebellion. As Nahri navigates this new world, she discovers that true power is fierce and brutal, and that magic cannot protect her from the perilous intricacies of court politics. Even the most cunning plans can lead to deadly consequences, reminding her to be cautious about what she wishes for.

      È il quarantunesimo millennio. Da più di cento secoli l'Imperatore Immortale siede sul Trono d'Oro della Terra, dominatore di milioni di mondi, sovrano sanguinario e crudele di miliardi di creature. Ma ormai è solo una misera carcassa tenuta in vita da un'oscura tecnologia, signore di un pianeta che sta per scomparire, la cui sopravvivenza è affidata a un ultimo, esile filo di speranza: le truppe dei sovrumani Space Marine. Solo loro possono garantire la sopravvivenza del genere umano contro le ostili razze aliene, i demoni e le Legioni Traditrici. Ma per quanto ancora? La terza compagnia degli Space Marine del capitano Angelos sta combattendo una sanguinosa battaglia contro gli orki invasori: per salvare il pianeta Tartarus, Angelos deve lanciare i propri uomini in un'ultima, disperata azione, ma prima di tutto deve combattere contro i propri demoni interiori e affrontare la spirale di intrighi, inganni e segreti che potrebbe mettere a rischio l'esistenza stessa dell'umanità.
