Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Two years on from the events in "The Golem's Eye", the magicians' rule in London is teetering on a knife-edge, with strikes, riots and general uprest. The Prime Minister is largely controlled by two advisors, 17-year-old Nathaniel and the theatrical imprassario, Quentin Makepeace. Meanwhile, living under a false identity, Kitty has been researching djinn; she has come to believe that the only way to destroy the magicians is for an alliance of some kind between djinn and ordinary people. Ages: 12+.
