Based on his intelligence and the progress he continues to make, Nathaniel rises fast within the Office of Internal Affairs, and is not only given the almost impossible task to capture members of the Resistance, who seek to destroy the power of wizards, but he must also face a dangerous golem that is making random attacks on London and other areas, while his relationship with the djinni Bartimaeus remains as teasing and complex as ever.

This work is a translation of Amulet of Samarkand: Golem's eye.
