Four Roads Cross: A Novel of the Craft Sequence by Gladstone, Max. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780765379429.
"Sharp, original, passionate." ―NPR Max Gladstones Craft Sequence chronicles the epic struggle to build a just society in a modern fantasy world. The great city of Alt Coulumb is in crisis. The moon goddess Seril, long thought dead, is back--and the people of Alt Coulumb arent happy. Protests rock the city, and Kos Everburnings creditors attempt a hostile takeover of the fire gods church. Tara Abernathy, the gods in-house Craftswoman, must defend the church against the worlds fiercest necromantic firm--and against her old classmate, a rising star in the Craftwork world. As if that werent 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 Walshs Place; and dragons give almost-helpful counsel. Set in a phenomenally built world in which lawyers ride lightning bolts, souls are currency, and cities are powered by the remains of fallen gods, Max Gladstones Craft Sequence introduces readers to a modern fantasy landscape and an epic struggle to build a just society.
