The Angel of Khan el-Khalili

A short story set in an alternate early-twentieth-century Cairo where magic, djinn, and angels exist alongside steampunk invention. A young woman visits an angel in the bustling Khan el-Khalili souk one night, seeking a miracle for her dying sister — and finds that every miracle has a price. A prequel to P. Djèlí Clark's Dead Djinn Universe novels, first published in the anthology Clockwork Cairo: Steampunk Tales of Egypt.
