✨ Welcome to The Bonus Chapter: Fantasy! This month, we're diving into The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty.

Magic. Politics. Ancient kingdoms. Djinn.

Set in 18th-century Cairo and the dazzling hidden city of Daevabad, The City of Brass follows Nahri, a gifted con artist who has spent her life surviving on the streets. Though she doesn't believe in magic, everything changes when she accidentally summons a mysterious djinn warrior named Dara and discovers that the fantastical stories she thought were myths may be terrifyingly real.

Swept away into a world of powerful djinn tribes, dangerous court politics, ancient grudges, and hidden prophecies, Nahri finds herself caught between rival factions fighting for power in a city where every alliance comes at a cost. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, she must decide who she can trust—and who she is destined to become.

Richly inspired by Middle Eastern history…
