NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Library Journal Vulture The Verge SYFYWire

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 trades she uses to get by--palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing--are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive.

But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she's forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri 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 more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass--a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound.

In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments run deep. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, her arrival threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries.

Spurning Dara's warning of the treachery surrounding her, she embarks on a hesitant friendship with Alizayd, an idealistic prince who dreams of revolutionizing his father's corrupt regime. All too soon, Nahri 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 . . .

--Michael J. Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of the Riyria Revelations

Awesome bag!
Color: Silver
I LOVE this bag! I use it daily. My only wish is that it was larger, although it does hold much more than you might think. I tried to post a pic of the inside and all it holds, but the app won't let me right now. I'll check back later. Until then, the list includes... Credit, check, and insurance cards (all 8 of them), 2 pens, A pen light, Fingertip spray bottle for alcohol, Mirror, ID, Several business cards, Folding phone stand shaped like a credit card, Charging cord, Charging battery (a hefty one with qi charging), Prescription sunglasses inside a box for protection, A magnifying card with light. My phone is too big to fit in the zipper compartment (Note 10+), so I usually use a lanyard. I COULD fit it into the main compartment, but it's tight. I attach my keys to the loop with the wrist strap. Otherwise they would scratch my phone if I choose to put it inside. An expanding bottom along with just an inch added to both the height and length would make all the difference for those needed items. If the owners/designers read this, I'd request a divider going lengthwise as well to keep my phone separate and protected. It doesn't have one, or a pocket for a large phone. I do believe, however, that the latest folding Razr or Samsung's Z-Flip would easily fit into the pockets provided with no problem.
