The Kingdom of Copper

by Shannon A. Chakraborty · 2019

S. A. Chakraborty continues the sweeping epic fantasy adventure begun in *The City of Brass*, returning to the dazzling city of Daevabad where djinn summon flames and ancient magic runs deep. Grifter Nahri, whisked from Cairo after summoning the mysterious djinn Dara, must navigate deadly court politics and a kingdom still reeling from war. Exiled Prince Ali survives on the unforgiving copper sands, wielding dangerous water‑spirit powers that threaten to expose a buried family secret. As a new century dawns, a hidden threat gathers in the north, poised to unleash fire upon Daevabad’s brass walls, while a torn warrior struggles between violent duty and a yearning for peace.
