In a city filled with dangerous yet heavily regulated alchemical magic, a man from the slums discovers he may be its only hope to survive certain destruction in this wickedly entertaining fantasy. --Shannon Chakraborty.
From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist\'s library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut.
A dazzling fantasy bursting with wild magic, chaotic sword-fighting street gangs, brazen flirting, malevolent harpies, and one defiant alchemist.
Now he just has to master it.
Good thing Siyon has pulled off the impossible before.
It will take a miracle to save the city.
But when Siyon accidentally commits an act of impossible magic, he\'s catapulted into the limelight--which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment, threatening to send Bezim into the sea.
Siyon Velo, Dockside brat turned petty alchemist, scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city\'s alchemists.
Welcome to Bezim, where sword-slinging bravi race through the night and rich and idle alchemists make magic out of mixing and measuring the four planes of reality.
