Sancia Grado is certainly a thief, and a damn great one. And her latest target, a seriously guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, can be nothing her exclusive abilities can’t manage.

But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology referred to as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic-the artwork of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience-have already used it to transform Tevanne into a huge, remorseless capitalist machine. But if indeed they can uncover the artifact’s secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to match their aims.

Now someone in those Homes wants Sancia useless, and the artifact for themselves. And in the town of Tevanne, there’s no one with the power to stop them.

To have a chance at surviving-and at stopping the deadly transformation that’s under way-Sancia will have to marshal improbable allies, learn to harness the artifact’s power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one which will change her into something she could do not have imagined.
