What this book is about
The second book in the Daevabad trilogy. Five years have passed since the events of The City of Brass. Nahri is practicing medicine in the palace while navigating the treacherous politics of the djinn city. Ali has been exiled after the chaos of the first novel. Dara has been resurrected and is working toward an attack he believes is justice. S.A. Chakraborty's middle chapter is rich with political complexity, expanding the world while raising the stakes for every character — and ending in a collision that makes the final book inevitable.
