Resumen del Editor

"No series since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most." (Paste Magazine)

The final chapter in the best-selling, 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.

Simply incredible

A perfect capstone to a spellbinding trilogy. One of those tales you wish you could read anew again and again. I highly recommend listening to this trilogy.

Loved it

It is Arabic and has major tones of that. That being said amazing works building amazing story. It’s a gripping addictive tale.

unpredictable and satisfying

As a trilogy finale, it did not disappoint. I look forward to more from Chakraborty!

A fantastic story and great series.

A pretty satisfying end to such an immersive and compelling series. Charming, funny and unexpected, Chakraborty's writing seems to have really blossomed. She pulls on your heartstrings, makes you chuckle and gets your blood boiling all while keeping that sense of adventure and mystery right up till the end. I could not recommend this book enough to fantasy readers.

I am still broken after this amazing ending epic.

This ended and finished the series in such a way that my heart is still beating and begging for it, even though it has been days since I heard it.

Diverse series

I absolutely love this series it is so diverse and full of rich background. I love all of the random little things weaving in and out to make this overall amazing story.

Captivating

From the narrator to the story line the second book is excellent. I like the character development and the satisfactory ending.

Best in the trilogy!

This trilogy was a slow burn that paid off. I wasn’t sure I’d stick around after The City of Brass, but I’m glad that I did.

Magical World of Devabhad

the worldbuilding, the characters and the transitions are some of the smoothest I have read in such a long time. The author has a fantastic talent for drawing you in and showing the flaws of the characters without you hating them. Like humans, you understand their flaws and what drew them to make the choices they did. I loved this series.

Wonderful series!

A wonderful series choice that opens up a fantastical world of djinn/daeva! The narrator is good.
