The third book in the page-turning Spellslinger fantasy series. Kellen, Reichis, and Ferius are on their way to Gitabria, a city where amazing inventions are dreamed up and sold across the land of the Seven Sands. But when the three of them stumble across a tiny mechanical bird, magically brought to life, they quickly realize all is not as it appears. If someone can bring a bird to life, is there anything to stop these inventive Gitabrians from creating a pack of mechanical dragons? Meanwhile, two strange Argosi appear, carrying secrets from Ferius' past, together with an unlikely Jan'Tep ally. And as time ticks on, all the cards in Ferius' deck point to the emerging tides of war. Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jim Butcher.
