OVER 6 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE BESTSELLNG SERIES! In this glorious conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy, the destinies of Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty converge once more. Perfect for fans of Artemis Fowl and Amari and the Night Brothers.  Three years have passed since the magician Nathaniel helped prevent a cataclysmic attack on London. Now an important member of the British government, he grapples with numerous problems: foreign wars are going badly, Britain’s enemies are mounting attacks close to London, and rebellion is growing among the commoners. Increasingly imperious and distracted, Nathaniel is treating Bartimaeus worse than ever. The long-suffering djinni is growing weak and vulnerable from too much time in this world, and his patience is nearing its end.   Meanwhile, undercover in London, Nathaniel’s longtime rival Kitty has been stealthily completing her research on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus’s past. She has a daring plan that she hopes will break the endless cycle of conflict between djinn and humans. But will anyone listen to what she has to say?   Together, the trio faces treacherous magicians, a complex conspiracy, and a rebellious faction of demons. To survive, they must test the limits of this world and question the deepest parts of themselves. And most difficult of all–they will have to learn to trust one another. ★ "A must-purchase for all fantasy collections."—School Library Journal, starred review Read the entire Bartimaeus Sequence series: The Amulet of Samarkand The Golem’s Eye Ptolemy’s Gate The Ring of Solomon   For another thrilling adventure from Jonathan Stroud, don’t miss the Lockwood & Co series.
