"The exciting beginning of a promising new epic fantasy series. Prepare for ancient mysteries, innovative magic, and heart-pounding heists."âBrandon Sanderson
âComplex characters, magic that is tech and vice versa, a world bound by warring trade dynasties: Bennett will leave you in awe once you remember to breathe!ââTamora Pierce
In a city that runs on industrialized magic, a secret war will be fought to overwrite reality itselfâthe first in a dazzling new series from City of Stairs author Robert Jackson Bennett.
Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanneâs docks, is nothing her unique abilities canât handle.
But unbeknownst to her, Sanciaâs been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magicâthe art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentienceâhave already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine. But if they can unlock the artifactâs secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims.
Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and the artifact for themselves. And in the city of Tevanne, thereâs nobody with the power to stop them.
To have a chance at survivingâand at stopping the deadly transformation thatâs under wayâSancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifactâs power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined.
