Il millenario Jinn Bartimeus, antichissimo, potente, pigro e beffardo, viene improvvisamente strappato dal confortevole mondo degli spiriti ed evocato a Londra, destinato a una missione oscura e incredibilmente rischiosa: rubare l’arcano amuleto di Samarcanda a Simon Lovelace, mago senza scrupoli e membro del Parlamento. Niente di strano: gli umani convocano continuamente gli spiriti per obbligarli a servirli. Ma stavolta il mago evocatore è un ragazzetto di dodici anni, che non sembra affatto in grado di governare il subdolo genio.

Eines Tages bekommt der Dschinn Bartimäus in London den Auftrag, dem hochnäsigen Zauberschüler Nathanael zur Seite zu stehen: ein Auftrag, der Bartimäus zunächst alles andere als glücklich macht. Dann aber beginnt ein Abenteuer, das die zwei aneinander schweißt.
