Anotácia:
The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad
Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to
save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen.
After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu
Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying
alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people.
But the bloodletting and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst
demons of Dara’s dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths
about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered
enemies.
Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad’s deadly
politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their
own. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her
human home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind
and the people who considered her a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant.
Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his
city and the family that remains. Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he
discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and
threatens not only his relationship with Nahri, but his very faith.
As peace grows more elusive and old players return,
Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they
may need to fight those they once loved... and take a stand for those they once
hurt.
