In an alternate history 1912 Cairo, Fatma el-Sha'arawi works for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities.

It has three prequel novellas, A Dead Djinn in Cairo, The Angel of Khan el-Khalili, and The Haunting of Tram Car 015. | |

| A Master of Djinn / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: At first, no one suspects Abigail is the lead imposter, because Al-Jahiz was male and they portrayed him as such in his “return”, but also she's a seemingly harmless woman. | |

Butch Lesbian: Fatma likes to wear bowler hats, very nice suits and has a cane. She also wears her hair short and she works as a detective, being among the few women doing this. Due to this, she also gets mistaken for a handsome young man repeatedly, indicating her style makes her look bifauxnen. She's secretly lovers with Nubian woman Siti. | |

Magic Fire: Agent Fatma is familiar with all kinds of magical fire, but she is initially stumped by a murder scene at the Worthington Mansion where the victims burned alive but their clothes were untouched. It turns out to be the fire of an ifrit. | |

Visionary Villain: It turns out Abigail's motive in murdering her father and the rest with the ring wasn't anything petty like greed or revenge. No, she wants to ultimately restore the falling British Empire using it, perhaps even becoming queen. | |

| A Master of Djinn / int_1b73fada | comment |
The Dandy: Fatma refers to herself as this in her internal thoughts, a Gender Flipped version of course but it fits since she's basically the female counterpart to a Sharp-Dressed Man, loving to wear very nice Western men's suits along with a bowler hat and a sword cane. Even when she tries to dress down Fatma acknowledges that it's a failure given her suits remain quite colorful and flamboyant. She enjoys flaunting her clothing for others. | |

Tongue-Tied | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_203f069d | comment |
Tongue-Tied: A spell on all djinn prevents them from talking about the Ring of Sulayman. One djinn, Siwa, actually cuts out his tongue when Fatma and Hadia question him, thanks to a spell by Abigail — his magic results in the tongue growing back, and he's forced to repeat the process dozens of times. | |

Played Straight; the angelic council took over a human-built palace as their headquarters in Cairo, but they replaced the interior with a vast, extradimensional space to give themselves more room. Visitors have to be assigned guides so that they don't get lost in the maze-like architecture of the pocket dimension. | |

Verbal Tic: "Fascinating!" Fatma witnessed the angel named Maker commit ritualistic suicide in A Dead Djinn in Cairo, and is shocked to see an identical angel on the angelic council, not realizing that this is Maker's replacement. Fatma mistakes the replacement for the original before the replacement has the chance to introduce herself. Maker's replacement (also called Maker) is excited to learn more about humans, and often ends her sentences with "Fascinating!" when describing their behavior. | |

Secret Relationship: Fatma is secretly lovers with Siti, another women, as same-sex relationships remain taboo in Egypt. Siti sneaks in and out of Fatma's apartment by the window so the building's doorkeeper, a notorious gossip, doesn't spot her going inside. A few people know and are fine with the fact, keeping their secret. | |

Jackass Genie: The Marid introduced at the beginning of the book. After two humans wake him up and ask for wishes, the Marid tells them to decide how they will die. Fatma outsmarts him by asking for them to die from old age at the end of their natural lives. When she wakes him up again later, asking him to remove the spell making her and Hadia forget Sulayman's ring, he grudgingly does what she asks. But he makes the process excruciatingly painful, just because Fatma didn't tell him not to make it painful. | |

Opposites Attract: Fatma is fairly reserved and more reticent with her emotions, while having a very masculine clothing style (she likes wearing fine Western men's suits). Siti, her girlfriend, loves to wear beautiful dresses, with a playful, much more emotive personality (often teasing Fatma about things). The pair are both skilled fighters, but Fatma does this only when necessary whereas Siti is eager for fighting. Fatma is a Muslim, while Siti worships the ancient Egyptian god Hathor/Sekhmet. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Fatma meets some expatriate African-American musicians in Cairo, and they comment on how while they're treated well as foreigners, local dark-skinned Egyptians (including the Nubians, black people like them) definitely aren't. Haida later notes this too after Siti (a Nubian) faces gross racism by a rich Arab Egyptian woman, along with Fatma (whom she thinks has some Nubian ancestry as well), having previously lived in the US. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: It turns out there's a spell on knowledge of the ring the false Al-Jahiz uses which makes them quickly forget about this afterward. However, it has gaps which let some find out even so. Fatma and Haida are forced to continually remind themselves via notes they carry about it. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: After being forced to strangle Fatma by the false Al-Jahiz's spell, Siti is distraught, plaintively asking if she's all right when they see each other again, with her having clearly been crying. This is quite the contrast with her usual energetic, teasing attitude. She's usually wholly fearless as well, but expresses profound terror at how he controlled her. | |

No Man Should Have This Power | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_e888fbd8 | comment |
No Man Should Have This Power: After the events of the book, Fatma recommends to the Ministry to destroy the Clock of Worlds. She also gives the Ring of Sulayman to Ahmad to hide where no one can find it, even herself. | |

Lady Looks Like a Dude | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_e90f8e37 | comment |
Lady Looks Like a Dude: Fatma gets mistaken for male more than once due to her gaunt face and rather masculine clothing, since she frequently wears Western men's suits. She's grown used to it. | |

Buried Alive | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_f8f71b5f | comment |
Buried Alive: Fatma is trapped under rubble along with Abigail and Siti near the end, though not for long since people hear them underneath, digging everyone out. | |

Running Gag | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Haida's seemingly inexhaustible supply of cousins, all of whom work for an industry that proves to be important or know a piece of information that turns out to be crucial. She's even able to get Siwa to open up about his gambling addiction because she claims a cousin of hers suffers from the same affliction. Ahmad has a habit of stalking out of the shadows whenever he wants to hold a conversation with Agent Fatma, not realizing his crocodilian features make his appearance more of a Jump Scare than a Stealth Hi/Bye. When he apologizes, he asks if he's being creepy and always gets an affirmative. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
| A Master of Djinn / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: Downplayed; Siwa's apartment above a carpet store looks bigger on the inside the first time that Fatma and Haida visit — it has a luxurious courtyard with a fountain, tasteful library to house his books, and even a tea room decorated with tapestries and teapots bearing camels. The ministry agents realize they're under the effects of an illusion when the details of the room start changing before their very eyes. When they pay Siwa a second visit, they convince him to drop the illusion and they see the apartment for what it really is — crowded with books that spill out of their shelves, littered with receipts for Siwa's gambling debts, and decorated with cheap posters of camel races. Played Straight; the angelic council took over a human-built palace as their headquarters in Cairo, but they replaced the interior with a vast, extradimensional space to give themselves more room. Visitors have to be assigned guides so that they don't get lost in the maze-like architecture of the pocket dimension. | |
