Sancie Grad is a thief, and a damn good one at that. Breaking into a heavily guarded warehouse in the docks of Tevanne is a piece of cake for her. However, Sancie has no idea that the artifact she is supposed to steal holds unimaginable power. It could even revolutionize a magical technique called scribbling — a method that alters the properties of ordinary objects using coded inscriptions. The rival corporations that control this magic have already used it to transform Tevanne into a massive, ruthless money machine. However, if they get hold of the stolen artifact, they will rewrite the world itself to serve their purposes. The corporations are now after Sancia. And there is no power in the city of Tevanne that can stop them. If Sancie is to survive—and stop the murderous world transformation she's about to experience—she must gather unlikely allies, harness the power of the artifact, and undergo her own transformation that transforms her into something she never dreamed possible.
