    About this ebook

    Bestselling author S. A. Chakraborty’s acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy gets expanded with this new compilation of stories from before, during, and after the events of The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold, all from the perspective of characters both beloved and hated, and even those without a voice in the novels. The River of Silver gathers material both seen and new—including a special coda fans will need to read—making this the perfect complement to those incredible novels.

    Now together in one place, these stories of Daevabad enrich a world already teeming with magic and wonder. Explore this magical kingdom, hidden from human eyes. A place where djinn live and thrive, fight and love. A world where princes question their power, and powerful demons can help you…or destroy you.

    A prospective new queen joins a court whose lethal history may overwhelm her own political savvy…

    An imprisoned royal from a fallen dynasty and a young woman wrenched from her home cross paths in an enchanted garden…

    A pair of scouts stumble upon a secret in a cursed winter wood that will turn over their world…

    From Manizheh’s first steps towards rebellion to adventures that take place after The Empire of Gold, this is a must-have collection for those who can’t get enough of Nahri, Ali, and Dara and all that unfolded around them.

    • 4/5
      a pleasant return to the magical arabian fantasy of the Daevabad Trilogy, in the form of a collection of related short stories.
    • 5/5
      I'm so glad I read this - a very very satisfying addition to the Daevabad "canon".

      I was hoping for a follow-up story about Dara's future... but maybe later.
    • 3/5
      If you've finished the Daevabad Trilogy and need a reminder of what happened, this book of a series of scenes not included will provide re-entry into that world. Some of the scenes make decent little stories, but won't mean much unless you've read all 3 and are full of spoilers if you've read fewer.
