A student finds herself accidentally betrothed to a demon--and investigating his connection to the magical irregularities plaguing her city--in this cozy, whimsical YA romantasy. As a scholarship student at the magical Lyceum, Naomi would rather focus on deciphering ancient scrolls than dating.

Until she arrives home one night and finds the demon Daziel lounging in her rooms, insisting he's her betrothed.

Arab Modernism(s) is an exploration of how the Arab world encountered modernism - sometimes inadvertently, sometimes deliberately - and how those encounters continue to shape the built environment of its cities today. Adhering to his late father's belief that 'cities are nothing without people', Yasser Elsheshtawy writes not just about the buildings, but the lives lived in and around them. His narrative weaves together personal anecdotes and works of fiction and film, thus providing a textured backdrop to his central theme: the evolution of modernism in Arab cities. Following the introduction, the next ten chapters each focuses on a different city or town, moving from Hassan Fathy's Gourna to Cairo, Algiers, Rabat and Casablanca, Amman, and Beirut and then to the Gulf cities of Riyadh, Kuwait, Doha, and Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The book closes with a Coda - a tribute to the author's father, Hassan Elsheshtawy.
