Multiaward-winning publisher Aliette de Bodard brings her storyline of the Warfare in Heaven to Paris, igniting the City of Light in a illusion of divine vitality and deep conspiracy. In the late 20th hundred years, the avenues of Paris are lined with haunted ruins. THE FANTASTIC Magicians' War left a path of devastation in its wake. The grands magasins have been reduced to piles of dirt, Notre-Dame is a burnt-out shell, and the Seine has turned dark with ashes and rubble and the remnants of the spells that tore the city aside. But those who survived still keep their irrepressible urge for food for novelty and distraction, and the fantastic homes still vie for dominion over France's once-grand capital. Once the most effective and formidable, House Silverspires now lies in disarray. Its magic is ailing; its founder, Morningstar, has been lacking for decades; and today something from the shadows stalks its people of their very own wall space. Within the home, three completely different people must come together: a naïve but powerful fallen angel, an alchemist with a self-destructive dependency, and a resentful young man wielding spells of unidentified origin. They might be Silverspires' salvation - or the architects of its previous, irreversible fall. If Silverspires falls, so may the city itself.
