'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.
