Features: This book continues the story from The Samarkand Amulet. A 12-year-old boy, Nathaniel, summons a 501-year-old intermediate demon, Bartimaeus, to London to carry out the plan of stealing the Samarkand Amulet. Unintentionally, he learns about a conspiracy of rebellion by an evil wizard. Ining the conspiracy, Nathaniel gains the glory he longs for, and Bartimaeus also obtains the freedom he craves. Since Bartimaeus and Nathaniel, this supernatural pair of friends met, everything in the world has changed. Two years have passed, and Nathaniel summons Bartimaeus again. And this time summons also makes Bartimaeus and Nathaniel experience another life-and-death trial and test together. What changes have Nathaniel undergone in these two years? Why does Bartimaeus, the demon, feel both proud and fearful? What kind of opponents do they encounter that makes magic ineffective? What kind of crisis exists in the relationship between Bartimaeus and Nathaniel? Why does Bartimaeus have intimate communication with Nathaniel's opponent? Bartimaeus is a demon, he obeys the magician who summons him, he is both enemy and friend, he only pursues unrestrained freedom and eternal liberty. This clever demon, while being driven by the magician, also reflects on the various aspects of humanity—from dreams to pursuits, from humility to greatness, from the ordinary to the noble—they are all different, some great, some small, some realistic, some romantic, some happy, some sad. However, no matter what, they are all closely related to the ultimate dream and ultimate pursuit of one person! Intertwinedly related! Indissolubly related! This book is the second in the Bartimaeus trilogy. Together with its first part, The Samarkand Amulet, it was published and sold rights in over 20 countries. At the same time, Miramax bought the film rights to the book. This book continues the story from The Samarkand Amulet. The battle of magic is even more fierce, the competition between the two sides is more complex, and the between humans and demons in this book are also more moving.
