New York, 1930. Cha­va the golem, a woman made of clay, lives a seclud­ed life in Brook­lyn, the dili­gent care­tak­er of an emp­ty house. Ahmad the jin­ni, a crea­ture of fire, has trad­ed met­al­smithing for an architect’s career in Chica­go. For years, they’ve shared their lives over their night­ly tele­phone calls — but now their frag­ile peace shat­ters when Yehu­dah Schaal­man, the trapped wiz­ard who cre­at­ed Cha­va and enslaved Ahmad, threat­ens to return. Soon, a cast of allies and haunt­ed fig­ures con­verges on New York, includ­ing a steel­work­er with mys­te­ri­ous abil­i­ties and a hid­den past, a speakeasy host­ess with ties to Chava’s old employ­er, and a griev­ing woman who might have the pow­er to defeat Cha­va and Ahmad’s ene­mies— if she doesn’t destroy her own soul in the process. With Schaal­man clos­ing in, Cha­va and Ahmad must face their pasts and decide whether they can final­ly break his hold; or be bound to him for­ev­er. A sweep­ing, mag­i­cal finale to Wecker’s The Golem and the Jin­ni tril­o­gy, blend­ing myth, his­to­ry, and high-stakes suspense.
