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.
When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb\'s courts?and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb\'s slim hope of survival.
Her only help: Abelard, a chain-smoking priest of the Dead god, who\'s having an understandable crisis of faith.
Tara\'s job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in.
Without Him, the metropolis\'s steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot.
Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb.
A god has died, and it\'s up to Tara, first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life before His city falls apart. --Patrick Rothfuss Max Gladstone\'s Craft Sequence chronicles the epic struggle to build a just society in a modern fantasy world.
