Now, a century and a half and a great many construction contracts later, Agdel Lex rises in its place.  Dead deities litter the surrounding desert, streets shift when people aren’t looking, a squidlike tower dominates the skyline, and the foreign Iskari Rectification Authority keeps strict order in this once-independent city—while treasure seekers, criminals, combat librarians, nightmare artists, angels, demons, dispossessed knights, grad students, and other fools gather in its ever-changing alleys, hungry for the next big score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePriestess\/investment banker Kai Pohala (last seen in \u003ci\u003eFull Fathom Five\u003c\/i\u003e) hits town to corner Agdel Lex’s burgeoning nightmare startup scene, and to visit her estranged sister Ley.  But Kai finds Ley desperate at the center of a shadowy, and rapidly unravelling, business deal.  When Ley ends up on the run, wanted for a crime she most definitely committed, Kai races to track her sister down before the Authority finds her first.  But Ley has her own plans, involving her ex-girlfriend, a daring heist into the god-haunted desert, and, perhaps, freedom for an occupied city.  Because Alikand might not be completely dead—and some people want to finish the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom Doherty Associates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122065752304,"sku":"9780765395887","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780765395887_p0.jpg?v=1763660933","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780765395887","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
