Rising City

Now in possession of the artifact that has torn his world apart, Zan Mardova is still reeling from the discovery of a strange new magic, a connection with Ellie that challenges everything he's ever known about typics and the Skilled. Before he can find his footing, Zan faces a new menace-a creature wearing the body of his old friend that is tearing across Italy toward Venice, leaving a trail of reanimated corpses in its wake.

Where there is power, there will be those seeking to use it. Zan means to use his power to create a better world for typics and Skilled alike-

But if he can't stop what's coming, it may already be too late.
