Description
Steampunk urban fantasy from an alternative history. Around the year 1872, a mysterious mystic named al-Jahiz opened a portal in Cairo, through which djinn and magic returned to the world. This accelerated the progress of humanity, and Egypt became a global superpower both technologically and magically. In 1912, on the eve of a peace summit where the Egyptian king intends to avert a looming war conflict in Europe, a mass murder occurs in Giza, committed by magical means. The perpetrator, a mysterious man with a golden mask, claims to be the missing al-Jahiz who has returned. The investigation is taken up by a young but already renowned agent, Fatima, a special investigator from the Ministry of Alchemy, Magic, and Supernatural Entities...
