The trilogy follows the story of Nathaniel, a young apprentice magician, and his djinni, Bartimaeus. Nathaniel is a member of the British government's magical agency, the Ministry of Arcane Affairs. He is assigned to a mission to retrieve the Amulet of Samarkand, a powerful magical artifact. Bartimaeus is a rebellious and sarcastic djinni who is forced to help Nathaniel on his mission.
The trilogy is set in an alternate version of the early 19th century. The world is very similar to our own, but there is also a strong presence of magic. Magicians are commonplace, and they use magic to help the government maintain control over the country.
The Bartimaeus Trilogy is a well-written and entertaining fantasy series. It is perfect for fans of fantasy and adventure.
