Description
The world has never recovered from the Cataclysm a century ago. Though the fires have died, and the famines ran their course, the scars left behind blur the lines between right and wrong.
Caldera, one of the remaining great cities of the world, trembles as the balance of power shifts. Rivals maneuver to take control of the city and will stop at nothing to come out on top.
Asher, a mercenary mage, is given a job too big to refuse. He and his companions must navigate the city's landscape of corruption, betrayal, and political upheaval, or it’ll be their heads on the next contract.
Short stories and custom illustrations start each chapter, telling tales of the Cataclysm from dozens of cultures and different perspectives.

Thanks to Netgalley & and absolute Thanks to Aaron Jackson.
I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has so many wonderful elements that make the fantasy genre so great.
Firstly but not only, the wording is so fluid and easy to read, with no crazy interpretive, hazy trips into the characters psyche , that make you wonder what the hell is happening. Just straight forward, enjoyable story telling.
The characters, no matter how despicable, are still a joy to read about as they feel very real, and very well fleshed out.
I really liked everything in the book, including a unique take on the magic, which doesn't seem trite or plagiarized from any other book.
And I'm truly excited for the next book and a little disappointed I can't read it now. This book is easily a 4.5 for me.
