Tread carefully!
Shorefall (The Founders Trilogy #2) by Robert Jackson Bennett
Things are different in Tevanne now for Sancia Grado and her group.
Tevanne a place where "where machines are run by plates scribed by sigils that convince objects of a different reality, which in turn sets them in motion according to the demands inscribed."
If you remember Sancia is able to unlock scriven sigils and send them down a different path. With her associates Orso, Gregor, and Berenice, the search to finally overthrow the powerful barons who control much of the scriven capabilities and thus the population appears to be on the horizon, well closer than that.
However there's a but with a capital B.
It seems one of the legendary inventors of scriveners is about to rise from the dead, reappear and that takes the fight against the ruling class to a fight against the gods.
Gregor is uneasy. Sancia is warned in a dream like sequence by Valaria, "THE MAKER MUST NOT COME BACK!"
What can I say? A solid addition to a series that in it's inception was exquisite in terms of the redefined techno magical device that is scriveness, daring in the scope of it's world building and socio ecomrealities, and a straight up enthralling adventure.
