Sancia Grado is an exceptionally skilled thief. And she can handle her current objective, a strongly guarded warehouse on Tevanne's docks, with her special skills.
However, Sancia is unaware that she has been sent to pilfer a very powerful artefact that has the potential to transform the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses in charge of this magic—the ability to give common goods awareness via coded commands—have already used it to turn Tevanne into a massive, heartless capitalist machine. However, if they manage to decipher the artifact's mysteries, they will alter reality itself to serve their purposes.
Currently, someone wants Sancia dead and the artefact for themselves in those Houses. Furthermore, nobody in Tevanne has the authority to stop them.
In order to have a chance of surviving and halting the imminent lethal metamorphosis, Sancia will need to gather odd friends, figure out how to use the artifact's power for herself, and go through a transformation of her own that will take her beyond her wildest expectations.
