    "description": "<p><span>In a city filled with dangerous yet heavily regulated alchemical magic, a man from the slums discovers he may be its only hope to survive certain destruction in this wickedly entertaining fantasy.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span> Welcome to Bezim, where sword-slinging bravi race through the night and rich and idle alchemists make magic out of mixing and measuring the four planes of reality.<br /><br /> Siyon Velo, Dockside brat turned petty alchemist, scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city&rsquo;s alchemists. But when Siyon accidentally commits an act of impossible magic, he&rsquo;s catapulted into the limelight&mdash;which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment, threatening to send Bezim into the sea.<br /><br /> It will take a miracle to save the city. Good thing Siyon has pulled off the impossible before. Now he just has to master it.<br /><br /></span><span>A dazzling fantasy bursting with wild magic, chaotic sword-fighting street gangs, brazen flirting, malevolent harpies, and one defiant alchemist.<br /><br /> \"From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist's library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut.\"&nbsp;</span><span>&mdash;Shannon Chakraborty </span></p>",
