The Kingdom of Copper

Nahri’s life changed forever the moment she accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one of her schemes. Whisked from her home in Cairo, she was thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad, now entrenched in the dark aftermath of a devastating battle—and quickly discovered she would need all her grifter instincts to survive and protect her tribe.

Meanwhile, Ali has been exiled for daring to defy his father. Hunted by assassins, he is forced to rely on the frightening abilities the marid—the unpredictable water spirits—have gifted him. But in doing so, he threatens to unearth a terrible secret his family has long kept buried.

And as a new century approaches and the djinn gather within Daevabad’s towering brass walls for celebrations, a threat brews unseen in the desolate north. It’s a force that seeks the aid of a warrior torn between a violent duty he can never escape and a peace he fears he will never deserve.
