City of Stairs

In the enthralling sequel to the Founders Trilogy, "City of Stairs," master storyteller Robert Jackson Bennett invites you back into a world where magic is the key to revolution. Sancia Grado and her band of allies from Entremuros are determined to ignite a magical-industrial uprising to topple the mighty merchant houses from within, having narrowly saved the city of Tevanne. Their mission is to unveil the arcane secrets of Sigil-writing for all its citizens. But the stakes are higher than ever. One of the formidable houses has resorted to a desperate measure: the resurrection of the legendary hierophant, Crasedes Magnus. Once a mere mortal, this immortal being has harnessed the power of the Sigils to become godlike. Awoken from his long slumber, Crasedes Magnus is relentless in his quest to reshape the world in his dark image. As ancient powers awaken and the balance of the world teeters, Sancia faces an unimaginable challenge. To stop this resurrected deity, she must harness the only thing capable of confronting a god—a god of her own making. Embark on a journey filled with breathtaking magic, intricate politics, and gripping suspense, as "City of Stairs" delivers a tale of rebellion, ancient forces, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to dream of a better world.
