THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND
When the 5,000 year-old djinni Bartimaeus is summoned by Nathaniel, a young magician’s apprentice, he expects to have to do nothing more taxing than a little levitation or a few simple illusions. But Nathaniel is a precocious talent and has something rather more dangerous in mind: revenge.

THE GOLEM'S EYE
Two years on, Nathaniel again finds himself in need of Bartimaeus when his promising career with the government is threatened by a series of crises.
A seemingly invulnerable clay golem is making attacks on London, and the shadowy Resistance, first encountered in THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND,
is growing ever more troublesome.
