The Bartimaeus Trilogy

Book • 2010
The Bartimaeus Trilogy consists of three books: The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, and Ptolemy's Gate.

The series is set in an alternate London where magicians rule and control others through the summoning and enslavement of spirits like djinn, imps, and afreets.

The story follows Nathaniel, a young magician, and Bartimaeus, a witty and clever djinni, as they navigate a world of magical espionage, rebellion, and power struggles.

The trilogy also introduces Kitty Jones, a brave and strong-willed rebel, and explores themes of corruption, freedom, and what it means to be human.

Each book in the series builds on the complex relationships and power dynamics between magicians and their enslaved spirits, culminating in a final confrontation that threatens the very fabric of their magical society.
