"Richly nuanced and beautiful. . . . An immersive and magical tale of loneliness, love, and finding hope.” (Buzzfeed) “A layered novel of many complex characters…To keep their worlds safe, Chava and Ahmad must access both their greatest supernatural powers and their deepest human impulses.” (Historical Novels Review) In this enthralling historical epic, set in New York City and the Middle East in the years leading to World War I— the long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Golem and the Jinni—Helene Wecker revisits her beloved characters Chava and Ahmad as they confront unexpected new challenges in a rapidly changing human world. Chava is a golem, a woman made of clay, who can hear the thoughts and longings of those around her and feels compelled by her nature to help them. Ahmad is a jinni, a restless creature of fire, once free to roam the desert but now imprisoned in the shape of a man. Fearing they’ll be exposed as monsters, these magical beings hide their true selves and try to pass as human—just two more immigrants in the bustling world of 1900s Manhattan. Brought together under calamitous circumstances, their lives are now entwined—but they’re not yet certain of what they mean to each other. Both Chava and Ahmad have changed the lives of the people around them. Park Avenue heiress Sophia Winston, whose brief encounter with Ahmad left her with a strange illness that makes her shiver with cold, travels to the Middle East to seek a cure. There she meets Dima, a tempestuous female jinni who’s been banished from her tribe. Back in New York, in a tenement on the Lower East Side, a little girl named Kreindel helps her rabbi father build a golem they name Yossele—not knowing that she’s about to be sent to an orphanage uptown, where the hulking Yossele will become her only friend and protector. Spanning the tumultuous years from the turn of the twentieth century to the beginning of World War I, The Hidden Palace follows these lives and others as they collide and interleave. Can Chava and Ahmad find their places in the human world while remaining true to each other? Or will their opposing natures and desires eventually tear them apart—especially once they encounter, thrillingly, other beings like themselves?

Meanwhile, Armaiti gives Sassan the one thing King Fiqitush most desires: Solomon’s seal. While Roshan struggles to control the sabaoth magic, Navid leaves for Arshak to learn what Sassan is up to with the daevas. What he discovers horrifies him and prompts a rescue mission. Aware they could be walking into a trap, Roshan, Navid and Behrouz sneak into Arshak. Can they free the prisoners, or will they become Sassan’s next victims? Book 3 High Magus Sassan and his army appear outside a sand-filled and crumbling Baka. If she’s going to help the djinn and daevas ready the city for war, Roshan must put aside her desire to take the fight to the high magus. Doing so, however, will leave her weak and vulnerable. Meanwhile, worried about Yesfir, Behrouz and Zana are desperate to rescue her. When ordered to remain in Baka, Zana goes in search of the Cross Scar manticores for help. As guardsmen and golems begin their attack on Baka, Roshan must make an impossible choice that will either save the djinn and daevas or doom Baka and its inhabitants to unending slavery.

Xellous ""Zell"" Rozen is a paranormal anthropologist. He spends his nights studying the strange and unusual things that go bump in the night. With his new assistant, Calanyx at the ready, Zell finds himself escaping hellhounds, destroying life-stealing thought forms, and working with a temperamental Djinni whose quest is to find others of his tribe. All the while dealing with what has become a love quadrangle. But it's all in a day's work for Zell. Not literally, of course. This was over a course of a few days. Ah'Mahn and his clan of Djinn fled their realm and entered into the world of humans to escape persecution and start a new life. But when slavers captured the clan and bound each one to an item so that they would be forced to serve their masters, the tribe was again in danger, even more so than before. After centuries of imprisonment, Ah'Mahn has vowed to recover his brethren that have been scattered across the globe and break the bonds placed upon them. Or at least, he'll destroy himself trying.

Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.

Zonder twijfel mijn favoriete boek van het jaar.' Damien Walter, The Guardian Het is 1899, de vooravond van de twintigste eeuw, en de stad New York is nog nooit zo fascinerend geweest. Chava is een golem, een door haar meester uit klei gemaakte vrouw. Ahmad is een djinn, een wezen van vuur, geboren in de Syrische woestijn. De golem en de djinn vertelt het onvergetelijke verhaal van twee bovennatuurlijke wezens die in 1899 afzonderlijk van elkaar in New York aankomen. Ze worstelen met het vinden van hun weg in de nieuwe, vreemde omgeving, maar een gedeeld lot brengt hen samen. Dit caleidoscopische en betoverende verhaal verweeft historische fictie met magische fabels uit de Joodse en Arabische traditie. 'De treffende, invoelbare menselijkheid van de magische personages zorgt ervoor dat je tot de laatste pagina meeleeft, én dat je het betreurt dat je die laatste pagina hebt bereikt.' The New York Times 'Een getalenteerde, nieuwe stem komt overtuigend tot uiting in deze bijzondere roman.' The Washington Post 'Tot de verbeelding sprekend en een genot om te lezen, maar ook sterk opgebouwd en intelligent.' Huffington Post 'Onweerstaanbaar prettig om te lezen. Er zijn zo veel spannende en onverwachte wendingen dat je aan het eind van deze roman met tegenzin terugkeert naar de realiteit. Een heerlijke leeservaring.' Berliner Zeitung
