What this book is about
S.A. Chakraborty's conclusion to the Daevabad Trilogy brings Nahri, Ali, and Dara to their final reckoning with Daevabad's political and supernatural power struggles. The novel is the most violent and emotionally demanding of the three — characters die, alliances fracture, and the price of the ending is real. Chakraborty draws on Islamic history and mythology with care throughout. For readers who have completed the first two books.
