''A firework of a fantasy novel: vibrant, explosive, deliciously dangerous and impossibly fun. A must-read debut'' Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine ThroneSiyon Velo might be acknowledged as the Alchemist. He may have even stabilized the planes and stopped Bezim from ever shaking into the sea again. But that doesn''t mean he has any idea what''s he doing-and it won''t be long before everyone knows it. Then mythical creatures once confined to operas and myths are spotted around Bezim. A djinn invades one of Zagiri''s garden parties, and whispers of a naga slithering through the Flower District are all Anahid hears at the card table. Magic is waking up in the Mundane. It''s up to Siyon to figure out a way to stop it, or everything he''s worked hard to save will come crashing down.Praise for this series:''From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist''s library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut'' S.
