'Clever, wickedly fun . . . with an excellent balance of humour and heart. I
loved it' S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass

Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha'arawi is the youngest woman working for the
Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she's certainly
not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last
summer.

So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most
famous men in history, Al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz
transformed the world fifty years ago when he opened up the veil between the
magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer
claims to be Al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social
oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets
of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage.

Alongside her Ministry colleagues and a familiar person from her past, Agent
Fatma must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the
city - or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seems . . .

P. Djèlí Clark is the winner of the Nebula, Locus, and Alex Awards and has
been shortlisted for the Hugo Award.
