An ancient evil is reawakened in a stunning new novel from the Hugo-nominated author of Foundryside and the Divine Cities trilogy, as a magical revolution transforms a city.
Sancia Grado and her companions have switched their attention to planting the seeds of a full-fledged magical-industrial revolution after just about saving Tevanne's metropolis from impending devastation. To the chagrin of the robber-barons who have kept this information for themselves, all of Tevanne's residents will have access to the techniques of scriving, or giving common items consciousness, if they are successful.
However, one of Sancia's adversaries has launched a desperate plot to bring back an heirophant, an immortal creature from mythology. The heirophant was once just a regular guy, but he has since utilized scriving to become more and more like a god. When he awakens, he will do whatever it takes to reshape the world in his terrifying likeness.
And if Sancia is unable to prevent the resurgence of this ancient power? The only way to defeat a god, then, is to defeat another god.
