[German] - Die Stadt aus Messing: Daevabad Band 1
Band 1 der Daevabad-Trilogie. Nahri hat nie an die Magie geglaubt. Sie besitzt zwar gewisse Kräfte und gilt auf den Straßen Kairos im 18. Jahrhundert als äußerst talentierte Frau, doch sie weiß es besser. Denn sie schlägt sich nur mit billigen Tricks und Handlesen durch. Als Nahri jedoch versehentlich Dara beschwört, einen ebenso gerissenen wie unheimlichen Dschinnkrieger, sieht sie sich gezwungen, ihre Ansichten zu ändern. Denn Dara erzählt ihr von heißen, windgepeitschten Sanddünen, in denen es von Feuerkreaturen wimmelt, von Flüssen, in denen mythische Wesen schlafen, von einstmals großartigen Metropolen, von Bergen, in denen die kreisenden Raubvögel mehr sind, als sie scheinen und er erzählt von der legendären Stadt aus Messing - eine Stadt, die eine unwiderstehliche Anziehungskraft auf Nahri ausübt. Doch ihr Eintreffen in dieser sagenumwobenen Welt könnte einen seit Jahrhunderten schwärenden Krieg neu entfachen. Denn in Nahri schlummern Kräfte, die so unbändig wie brutal sind ... und nun erweckt wurden. Epische Fantasy überbordend gefüllt mit schillernder Magie, mächtigen Intrigen, unvergesslichen Charakteren und großartigem World-Building.

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 death of his people 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. Though Nahri is finding peace in the rhythms of her old 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. 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.

Audiobook
Discover this spellbinding debut from S.A. Chakraborty. 'An extravagant feast of a book - spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable' Laini Taylor, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Among the bustling markets of eighteenth century Cairo, the city's outcasts eke out a living swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike. But alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert, full of enchantment, desire and riches. Where magic pours down every street, hanging in the air like dust. Many wish their lives could be filled with such wonder, but not Nahri. She knows the trades she uses to get by are just tricks and sleights of hand: there's nothing magical about them. She only wishes to one day leave Cairo, but as the saying goes... Be careful what you wish for.

Audiobook
Step into The City of Brass, the spellbinding debut from S. A. Chakraborty-an imaginative alchemy of The Golem and the Jinni, The Grace of Kings, and Uprooted, in which the future of a magical Middle Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever and defiant young con artist with miraculous healing gifts. Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, she's a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by-palm readings, zars, healings-are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills; a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she's forced to question all she believes. For the warrior tells her an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, and rivers where the mythical marid sleep; past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the circling birds of prey are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass-a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. In Daevabad, behind gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments are simmering. A young prince dreams of rebellion. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences. After all, there is a reason they say to be careful what you wish for . . .
