A magical revolution is transforming the city, and an ancient evil stirs.
Only a few years ago, Sancia Grado would have gladly let Tevanne burn to ashes. Now, she hopes to transform her city into something better. Together with Orso, Gregor and Berenice, she intends to strike a fatal blow to Tevanne's cruel industrial barons and remove them from power for the first time in decades.
But a terrifying warning arrives: Crasedes Magnus, the first of the legendary hierophants, is preparing to rise from the dead. And if he returns, Tevanne will be the first place in the world to feel his wrath.
Thousands of years ago, Crasedes was a simple man who achieved the impossible: using scriving – the magical art of imbuing inanimate objects with consciousness – he convinced reality that he was more than human. For centuries he walked the world as a god, personally deciding guilt and punishment, destroying empires, cleansing the world with fire and sword – and even defeating death itself.
Whether Sancia likes it or not, it is now up to her to stop him. If she is to have any chance in the coming battle, she must open the door to a scriving technology that could change the very essence of humanity. Regardless of who wins, nothing will ever be the same again…

Foundryside is reminiscent of adventure cyberpunk, set somewhere in a Dickensian London. In the field of entertaining fantasy that still isn't afraid to push boundaries, it has little competition.

Robert Jackson Bennett has become one of the leading figures in contemporary fantasy thanks to the Divine Cities trilogy. And deservedly so. In Foundryside, he continues in a similar vein.
