So Nathaniel summons a djinn called Bartimaeus and has him steal a very powerful magical artifact from Lovelace – The Amulet of Samarkand.

This book takes place in everday, modern London, except for one thing: the government is composed of magicians. Nathaniel is a talented, ambitious eleven year old who is apprenticed to a mediocre magician who fails to recognize Nathaniel's abilities. When Nathaniel is publicly humiliated by a magician named Simon Lovelace, he seeks to get revenge by summoning the djinni Bartimaeus and commanding him to steal a great treasure from Lovelace - the Amulet of Samarkand. As Nathaniel struggles to maintain control over Bartimaeus, he finds that perhaps the Amulet was more important than he thought and that now not only is his pride in jeopardy, but perhaps his life as well.
