A spirit loose in Kisrabah, a luck-obsessed pirate, and a merchant with a store full of secrets... While Kassim seeks out a merchant to help him uncover the mystery of the Night Diamond talisman, Zadie needs to find someone who can translate the strange script around the djinni’s ring. She soon finds a merchant who claims to be able to help her – but, as always, that help comes at a price… To discover more about Tarak’s past, Zadie is forced to agree to new deals she’d rather not have made. Deals that leave her pursuing dangerous magical creatures through the city’s catacombs, joining forces with a familiar gang of thieves, and risking everything on a game of cards with a pirate...
