Summary
Nasta Nal-Aket is the Father of Nightfall. He is indominable, a force to be reckoned with. But who was he before he was molded into an Arakesh, an elite assassin, by Nightfall? Before he became its leader. Who was he that he could be a harbinger of death, and also retain something of compassion when he takes in a young outlander boy decades later, and shapes him into his image?
This is what I imagine of Nasta's humble beginnings!

Summary
Before the six tribes of djinn woke to their new reality marked by Suleiman’s curse, daevas lived in a vastly different world. Loose tribes that followed one of the seven kings roamed the desert sands, carried on scorching winds, and vanished into the unseen realms. Worshiped as vengeful or merciful gods among humankind, there was little for which to want. Anything that was wanted could be taken.
But times are changing. A human king rises in Jerusalem, fabled to hold a great and terrible power over all in creation, and no one is safe. As kingdoms are built on the backs of those who once were gods themselves, the need for survival and freedom forces the djinn kings into desperate decisions and dangerous new alliances to save their people from the slavery into which they have been trapped. But who will shape the face of their new freedom?
While the old world is buried under the foundations of the First Temple of Suleiman, a healer seeks a place in the new world order, a shapeshifter is torn between two worlds, and a leader seeks only freedom for his people.
In the end, history is written by the victors.

Summary
Picking up after the fateful encounter in Babili, Dara, Zaynab, and Aqisa venture out into the world searching for ifrit and slave vessels. Their uncertain friendship is tested when, ensnared by magic they don't understand, events start to spiral out of control. In the aftermath of a catastrophic run-in with the ifrit, Dara finds himself once more facing the monsters from his past, including those that lie within. Zaynab and Aqisa, returned to Daevabad, race against a clock that may already have run out to stop the ifrit before they can use their corrupted magic to crush the home that has only just started to rebuild. In an approximation of peace, the peris are biding their time as well, seeking the key to harnessing a weapon that could allow them to seek their revenge for Nahri's defiance. As calamitous powers come closer to a devastating collision, an unlikely trio must find strength in their differences and uncover hope in tragedy to save each other and their home.
