Fantasy
Last First Snow: the fourth novel set in Max Gladstone's
compellingly modern fantasy world of the Craft Sequence Forty years after the God Wars, Dresediel Lex bears the
scars of liberation—especially in the Skittersill, a poor
district still bound by the fallen gods' decaying edicts. As
long as the gods' wards last, they strangle development;
when they fail, demons will be loosed upon the city. The
King in Red hires Elayne Kevarian of the Craft firm
Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao to fix the wards, but the
Skittersill's people have their own ideas. A protest rises
against Elayne's work, led by Temoc, a warrior-priest turned
community organizer who wants to build a peaceful future for
his city, his wife, and his young son. As Elayne drags Temoc and the King in Red to the bargaining
table, old wounds reopen, old gods stir in their graves,
civil blood breaks to new mutiny, and profiteers circle in
the desert sky. Elayne and Temoc must fight conspiracy, dark
magic, and their own demons to save the peace—or failing
that, to save as many people as they can.
