Now someone, claiming to be al-Jahiz, is stirring up trouble across Cairo. One of only a handful of female agents working for the Ministry, she is also one of the agencies most productive agents, who easily navigates the dangerous potentials ever-present in circumstances involving magic (which NEVER acts/reacts as one would think or hope). The Ministry’s youngest agent is Fatma el-Sha’arawi. The ministry is charged with investigating disturbances of a paranormal nature and keeping the peace between magic users and non-magic users. The Egyptian government, as the locus of the magical in the world, set up the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities. For the intervening four decades the world has had to learn how to live with, or attempt to ignore, the magical beings that now populate our world. In the process, al-Jahiz was lost to another dimension before the rupture between worlds was sealed. He pierced the boundaries between our world and other worlds, allowing magic to bleed into ours. In Cairo in the 1870’s, an inventor and investigator of mysticism named al-Jahiz made a literal breakthrough unlike any other.
