The Hidden Palace

by Helene Wecker

Years after Chava and Ahmad first meet, both continue navigating hidden supernatural lives in early twentieth-century New York. New arrivals, including a female jinni and a troubled young golem, complicate the communities they have built. Personal loyalties intersect with changing neighborhoods, family obligations, and dangerous magic from the past. Expansive and character-rich, this sequel is a satisfying cold-weather read about identity, immigration, chosen family, and the long consequences of learning to belong.
