Sono passati quasi tre anni dalla vicenda dell'Amuleto di Samarcanda, e Nathaniel si è confermato il mago più giovane e intraprendente di tutto il Ministero. Niente di strano, quindi, che venga convocato per risolvere un mistero inquietante: una specie mostro, enorme, invisibile, circondato di oscurità, getta Londra nel panico e fa strage di cose e persone. Il primo ministro è convinto che sia colpa della Resistenza, un gruppo di londinesi privi di poteri magici che si oppone alla classe dominante dei maghi; ma le indagini di Nathaniel si rivelano infruttuose, come i tentativi di infiltrarsi nel gruppo.

Tre anni dopo gli eventi narrati nell'Occhio del golem, il potere dei maghi di Londra vacilla: scoppiano disordini, i cittadini si ribellano, gli spiriti si danno battaglia nelle strade. John Mandrake, divenuto ministro dellInformazione, è al culmine della notorietà e del potere; ma non può più contare sull'aiuto di Bartimeus, il jinn che sin dall'inizio è stato al suo fianco, perché la lunga permanenza sulla Terra lo ha indebolito quasi mortalmente.

Il millenario Jinn Bartimeus, antichissimo, potente, pigro e beffardo, viene improvvisamente strappato dal confortevole mondo degli spiriti ed evocato a Londra, destinato a una missione oscura e incredibilmente rischiosa: rubare l’arcano amuleto di Samarcanda a Simon Lovelace, mago senza scrupoli e membro del Parlamento.
