Welcome to Litsy!

The jaw-dropping conclusion to the acclaimed Founders Trilogy, from the Hugo-nominated author of Foundryside and Shorefall �Bennett concludes his Founders trilogy . . . with characteristically high-spirited mayhem. Great fun, with nonstop action.��Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Sancia, Clef, and Berenice have gone up against long odds in the past. But the war they�re fighting now is one even they can�t win. This time, they�re not facing robber-baron elites or even an immortal hierophant, but an entity whose intelligence is spread over half the globe�one that uses the magic of scriving to control not just objects but human minds. To fight it, they�ve used scriving technology to transform themselves and their allies into an army�a society�unlike anything humanity has seen before. With its strength at their backs, they�ve freed a handful of their enemy�s hosts from servitude, and even defeated some of its fearsome, reality-altering dreadnoughts. Yet despite their efforts, their enemy marches on. Implacable. Unstoppable. Now, as their opponent closes in on its true prize�an ancient doorway, long buried, that leads to the chambers at the center of creation itself�Sancia and her friends glimpse a last opportunity to stop this unbeatable foe. To do so, they�ll have to unlock the centuries-old mystery of scriving�s origins, embark on a desperate mission into the heart of their enemy�s power, and pull off the most daring heist they�ve ever attempted. But their adversary might have a spy in their ranks�and a last trick up its sleeve. And to have a chance at victory, Sancia, Clef, and Berenice will have to make a sacrifice beyond anything that�s come before.
