From Hugo Award finalist Max Gladstone comes a smart, swashbuckling, wildly imaginative adventure; the saga of a rag-tag team of brilliant misfits, dangerous renegades, and enhanced outlaws in a war-torn future. Wildly successful tech founder Vivian Liao is a woman of radical thinking, quick decisions, and reckless action—no wonder that her birthday finds her on the run from her enemies in the government. But Viv has a plan that will save her skin... and change the world. In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, Viv sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, she's catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine. The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider--until Vivian Liao arrives. Trapped between the Pride—a ravening horde of sentient machines—and a fanatical sect of warrior monks who call themselves the Mirrorfaith, Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind.
