Synopsis
In an alternate 1912 Cairo where djinn and magic are real, Ministry agent Fatma el-Sha'arawi investigates the murder of members of a secret brotherhood — killed by someone claiming to be al-Jahiz, the long-dead mystic who opened the doorway between the mortal and magical worlds. Fatma must stop this imposter before they ignite a war between humans and djinn.
