The Daevabad Trilogy
S. A. Chakraborty · 3 novels · 1 novelette · 1 collection · 2017–2022
Nahri is a con artist and unlicensed healer working the streets of 18th-century Cairo who accidentally summons Dara, a formidable djinn warrior, during a fake exorcism gone wrong. He recognizes her as a lost heir of the Nahids, once-rulers of the djinn, and brings her to Daevabad, the hidden city her ancestors built, where old tribal and political conflicts are waiting to reignite. S. A. Chakraborty's Daevabad Trilogy follows Nahri through The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold as she's pulled into a fight over the city's throne and its buried history.
