Empire of gold. S. A. Chakraborty. 2020.

Daevabad has fallen.

Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad’s deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices.

Though Nahri is finding peace in the rhythms of her old home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a saviour are at the mercy of a new tyrant, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh. Ali too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains.

As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri and Ali come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved……and take a stand for those they once hurt.
