The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud is the first book in The Bartimaeus Trilogy, a witty and thrilling fantasy set in an alternate London ruled by power-hungry magicians who control demons. The story follows Nathaniel, a young and ambitious apprentice, who secretly summons the ancient and sarcastic djinni Bartimaeus to steal a powerful artifact—the Amulet of Samarkand—as revenge against a cruel magician. But the theft uncovers a dangerous conspiracy, forcing Nathaniel and Bartimaeus into an uneasy alliance. Told through dual perspectives—Nathaniel’s determined ambition and Bartimaeus’s sharp, humorous narration—the novel blends magic, political intrigue, and moral complexity, making it a standout in young adult fantasy.
