This novelette puts the focus firmly on the world-building. And what a world it is. This is Cairo in 1912 – some 40 years after a gateway to other dimensions was opened. Part steampunk, part urban fantasy, part cosy mystery, and part alternative history – all superbly crafted.

Fatma is on the hunt. A djinn appears to have taken his own life. But who was he and why did he do it?
