Inhaltsangabe:

<p>"Sharp, original, passionate." —NPR<br><br><b>Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence chronicles the epic struggle to build a just society in a modern fantasy world.</b><br><br>The great city of Alt Coulumb is in crisis. The moon goddess Seril, long thought dead, is back--and the people of Alt Coulumb aren't happy. Protests rock the city, and Kos Everburning's creditors attempt a hostile takeover of the fire god's church. Tara Abernathy, the god's in-house Craftswoman, must defend the church against the world's fiercest necromantic firm--and against her old classmate, a rising star in the Craftwork world.<br><br>As if that weren't enough, Cat and Raz, supporting characters from <i>Three Parts Dead</i>, are back too, fighting monster pirates; skeleton kings drink frozen cocktails, defying several principles of anatomy; jails, hospitals, and temples are broken into and out of; choirs of flame sing over Alt Coulumb; demons pose significant problems; a farmers' market proves more important to world affairs than seems likely; doctors of theology strike back; Monk-Technician Abelard performs several miracles; The Rats! play Walsh's Place; and dragons give almost-helpful counsel.<br><br><b>Set in a phenomenally built world in which lawyers ride lightning bolts, souls are currency, and cities are powered by the remains of fallen gods, Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence introduces readers to a modern fantasy landscape and an epic struggle to build a just society.</b><br><br><br>For more from Max Gladstone, check out:<br><br><b>The Craft Sequence</b><br>Three Parts Dead<br>Two Serpents Rise<br>Full Fathom Five<br>Last First Snow<br>Four Roads Cross</p>
