The River of Silver

Return to the world of the “Deavabad Trilogy.” A New York Times bestseller.

The “Deavabad Trilogy” by Shannon A. Chakraborty, which has gained worldwide fame, has been joined by a new collection of stories set before, during, and after the events of “The City of Brass,” “The Copper Kingdom,” and “The Golden Empire.” We’ll hear stories from the viewpoints of both beloved characters and hated ones—and even those who had no right to speak in the novels.

“Silver River” includes both previously published stories and completely new materials, including an alternative epilogue to “The Golden Empire” that every Deavabad fan must read.

Collected under one cover, these Deavabad stories enrich an already magical and wondrous world even further. Explore this magical kingdom hidden from human eyes—a place where jinn live and thrive, fight and love. A world where princes doubt their own power, and mighty demons can lend you a hand… or destroy you.

…The princess joins the royal court, whose ominous history is filled with deaths—and her political cleverness may not be enough to deal with it…

…A member of the royal family from a toppled dynasty imprisoned in a dungeon meets a young woman ripped from her home in an enchanted garden…

…A pair of spies, stumbling in a cursed winter forest, discover a secret that will turn their world upside down…

From Manizha’s first steps toward rebellion to the adventures that happen after “The Golden Empire”—this collection is a must-read for anyone missing Nari, Ali, and Dara, as well as the stories unfolding around them.
