About this book

In 1899 New York, a newly awakened golem and a jinni released from an old flask arrive in immigrant neighborhoods carrying secrets they barely understand. Chava, made to obey but suddenly masterless, and Ahmad, proud and confined to human form, find unexpected companionship amid crowded streets, family businesses, faith, and folklore. Their separate pasts begin to catch up with them as they learn the costs of freedom and belonging. Richly textured, romantic, and hopeful, this is a generous historical fantasy with an expansive cast.
