The Ingenious
ByPublisher Description
Political exiles are desperate to escape from the impossible city that imprisons them, in this bloody and brilliant epic fantasy
Thousands of years ago, the city of Athanor was set adrift in time and space by alchemists, called "the Curious Men". Ever since, it has accumulated cultures, citizens and species into a vast, unmappable metropolis.
Isten and her gang of half-starved political exiles live off petty crime and gangland warfare in Athanor's seediest alleys. Though they dream of returning home to lead a glorious revolution, Isten's downward spiral drags them into a mire of addiction and violence. Isten must find a way to save the exiles and herself if they are ever to build a better, fairer world for the people of their distant homeland.

“This one is a curious little book. I really enjoyed it, but it took a while to get into. The leading character had a grating effect on me initially, and wading through the dark underbelly of this world definitely gave me the distinct impression of wallowing in sewerage and swamps.
There are some interesting twists and turns in the plot and the construct of alchemy in this world is fascinating.
If you enjoy the darker constructs of sprawling cities, social darwinism and political debauchery, then this is a novel you may enjoy.”
