"Золотая империя" - заключительная глава бестселлерной, получившей признание критиков трилогии Шеннон Чакраборти "Дэвабад", в которой мошенница и принц-джинн-идеалист объединяют усилия, чтобы спасти волшебное королевство от разрушительной гражданской войны. Дэвабад пал. После жестокого завоевания, лишившего город его магии, лидер нахидов Бану Маниже и ее воскресший командир Дара должны попытаться восстановить свой ослабевший союз и стабилизировать положение капризного, враждующего народа. Но смерть его народа и потеря любимой Нари выпустили на волю худших демонов темного прошлого Дары. Чтобы победить их, он должен столкнуться лицом к лицу с некоторыми уродливыми фактами о своей истории и отдать себя на милость тех, кого он когда-то считал врагами. Книга на английском языке. The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war. Daevabad has fallen. After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people. But the death of his people and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara's dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies. Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad's deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. 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 savior, are at the mercy of a new tyrant. 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, Ali, and Dara 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.
