Bartimaeus is treated harsher than ever by Nathaniel 17. The long-suffering djinni is almost at the end of his tolerance, weak from too much time spent in this realm. Stealthily completing her studies on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus, Rebel Kitty 18 retreats into hiding. She thinks that her audacious scheme would solve the never-ending battle between djinn and humans. But will her words be heard by anyone? Together, the three must contend with cunning magicians, a convoluted plot, and a disobedient group of demons. They have to probe the darkest recesses of their being and push the boundaries of this reality in order to live.
