More about the book

A god wages war, using humanity as pawns, in the gripping conclusion to the Founders trilogy. Sancia, Clef, and Berenice face an insurmountable challenge against an entity whose intelligence spans the globe—a ghost in the machine that wields scriving magic to control both objects and human minds. In response, they have transformed themselves and their allies into a unique society, leveraging scriving technology to create an unprecedented army. They have liberated some of their enemy’s hosts and even taken down formidable, reality-altering dreadnaughts. Yet, their relentless foe continues its advance, implacable and unstoppable. As the enemy approaches an ancient doorway leading to the heart of creation, Sancia and her friends see a glimmer of hope to reach it first, presenting a final chance to thwart this seemingly unbeatable adversary. To succeed, they must unravel the centuries-old mystery of scriving's origins and undertake a perilous mission into the enemy's core, executing the most audacious heist of their lives. Complicating matters, they suspect their opponent may have infiltrated their ranks, leaving them to confront a hidden threat as they race against time.
