Description
The incredible final book in the phenomenon fantasy series described as "future classics" follows one man's dangerous journey through a labyrinthine world and the mysteries he uncovers along the way. (Los Angeles Times).
"Josiah Bancroft is a magician. His books are that rare alchemy: gracefully written, deliriously imaginative, action packed, warm, witty, and thought provoking." —Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe
As Marat's siege engine bores through the Tower, erupting inside ringdoms and leaving chaos in its wake, Senlin can do nothing but observe the mayhem from inside the belly of the beast. Caught in a charade, Senlin desperately tries to sabotage the rampaging Hod King, even as Marat's objective grows increasingly clear. The leader of the zealots is bound for the Sphinx's lair and the unimaginable power it contains.
In the city under glass at the Tower's summit, Adam discovers a utopia where everyone inexplicably knows the details of his past. As Adam unravels the mystery of his fame, he soon discovers the crowning ringdom conceals a much darker secret.
Aboard the State of Art, Edith and her crew adjust to the reality that Voleta has awoken from death changed. She seems to share more in common with the Red Hand now than her former self. While Edith wars for the soul of the young woman, a greater crisis looms: They will have to face Marat on unequal footing and with Senlin caught in the crossfire.
And when the Bridge of Babel is finally opened, and the Brick Layer's true ambition revealed, neither they nor the Tower will ever be the same again.

        November 1, 2021
        In the fourth of the Books of Babel series (after The Hod King, 2019) Adam has succeeded in reaching Nebos, the pinnacle of the tower, only to find that he's already well known in the community due to a rather pared down "artistic" rendering of his life: The Daredevil's Brother. In Nebos, he finds a paradise--mostly. There are some grim undercurrents of isolationism and cruelty in the Bricklayer's city. Senlin, meanwhile, is part of the crew of the Hod King, listening to Marat's increasingly megalomaniacal plans and trying to sabotage them. The crew of the State of the Art is competing with the Hod King to find the Sphinx's key to the room locked by the Bricklayer himself, which will ultimately decide the fate of the Tower of Babel. Inevitably there are failures on every side, and moments when all seems lost--but our heroes never give up. The ways characters have grown and suffered revelations about themselves and their relationships, and the slow reveal of the Bricklayer's cryptic secret at the heart of the tower, lead to a delightfully open-ended and satisfying conclusion.
