(Book five of the Craft Sequence)
Synopsis:
"In Four Roads Cross, the great city of Alt Coulumb is in
crisis. The moon goddess Seril, long thought dead, is back--and the
people of Alt Coulumb aren't happy. Protests rock the city, and Kos
Everburning's creditors attempt a hostile takeover of the fire god's
church. Tara Abernathy, the god's in-house Craftswoman, must defend the
church against the world's fiercest necromantic firm--and against her
old classmate, a rising star in the Craftwork world.As if that weren't enough, Cat and Raz, supporting characters from Three Parts Dead, are back too, fighting monster pirates; skeleton kings drink frozen cocktails, defying several principles of anatomy; jails, hospitals, and temples are broken into and out of; choirs of flame sing over Alt Coulumb; demons pose significant problems; a farmers' market proves more important to world affairs than seems likely; doctors of theology strike back; Monk-Technician Abelard performs several miracles; The Rats! play Walsh's Place; and dragons give almost-helpful counsel."
