From the New York Times bestselling author of A Little Hatred
comes a stunning fantasy novel that finds the world in an unstoppable
revolution where heroes have nothing left to lose as darkness and
destruction overtake everything.
Chaos. Fury. Destruction.
The Great Change is upon us . . .
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that
belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and
Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced
the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new
hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from
profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will
find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a
monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are
running out of allies . . . while Black Calder gathers his forces and
plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in
the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless
plan are slowly being drawn together . . .
