Action Girl: Fatma is a female Occult Detective with a ministry which investigates the supernatural who shows keen skill with magic or mundane weapons. The ministry agents realize they're under the effects of an illusion when the details of the room start changing before their very eyes. In this one we learn that Egypt is also well in advance of England in terms of women’s suffrage and social equity. Clark constantly finds new ways to challenge the concept of magic and what it means for the human residents of Cairo. It has murder, magic, mayhem, and at the center of it all, one lesbian detective with a sharp taste in suits and even sharper monster-hunting chops.

is set in 1994, when Josephine, “Girl One” from a 1970s experiment in human parthenogenesis, is a 24-year-old grad student determined to replicate the work of Dr Joseph Bellanger, the scientist credited with making nine “miracle babies”.

At one point, they interview a wealthy Egyptian woman who tolerates Fatma and Hadia but refuses Siti entry to her home because her skin is so dark; her reactions are rooted in bigotry that dates back centuries.

Archie holds the title of my Vizier, much as…” The old man trailed off, blue eyes twinkling at the bundle leaned against a chair.His eyes stared out at the chamber, where every member of the Brotherhood was also burning—bodies alight in smokeless fire the color of blood. Tipping back her bowler at an imperious angle, she moved closer to the towering Marid, craning her neck to meet those three burning eyes. Government Agency of Fiction: The Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, the Egyptian agency in charge of dealing with all things magic. Fatma mistakes the replacement for the original before the replacement has the chance to introduce herself.
