Now, a century and a half and a great many construction contracts later, Agdel Lex rises in its place. Dead deities litter the surrounding desert, streets shift when people aren't looking, a squidlike tower dominates the skyline, and the foreign Iskari Rectification Authority keeps strict order in this once-independent city--while treasure seekers, criminals, combat librarians, nightmare artists, angels, demons, dispossessed knights, grad students, and other fools gather in its ever-changing alleys, hungry for the next big score. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePriestess\/investment banker Kai Pohala (last seen in \u003ci\u003eFull Fathom Five\u003c\/i\u003e) hits town to corner Agdel Lex's burgeoning nightmare startup scene, and to visit her estranged sister Lei. But Kai finds Lei desperate at the center of a shadowy, and rapidly unravelling, business deal. When Lei ends up on the run, wanted for a crime she most definitely committed, Kai races to track her sister down before the Authority finds her first. But Lei has her own plans, involving her ex-girlfriend, a daring heist into the god-haunted desert, and, perhaps, freedom for an occupied city. Because Alikand might not be completely dead--and some people want to finish the job. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso Available by Max Gladstone: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Craft Sequence\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eThree Parts Dead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eTwo Serpents Rise\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e3. \u003ci\u003eFull Fathom Five\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e4. \u003ci\u003eLast First Snow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e5. \u003ci\u003eFour Roads Cross\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e6. \u003ci\u003eRuin of Angels\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Craft Wars\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eDead Country\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eWicked Problems\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLast Exit\u003cbr\u003eEmpress of Forever\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is How You Lose the Time War \u003c\/i\u003e(with Amal El-Mohtar)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMAX GLADSTONE went to Yale, where he wrote a short story that became a finalist in the Writers of the Future competition.
