of magic refuses to die. The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and

ever. On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to
win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour
Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the
feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specializes in disappointments.
Savine dan Glokta -- socialite, investor, and daughter of the most
feared man in the Union -- plans to claw her way to the top of the
slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over
with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control. The age of
the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of
the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the
blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one
thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling
the strings, changing it will be quite another . . . For more from Joe
