This book is authored by izabella W. "Mate!" My eyes bulged out of my head as I snapped up to regard the guy who is obviously the king. His eyes were locked on mine as he began to advance very quickly. Oh great. That's why he looked familiar, he was the same guy who I bumped into only an hour or two before hand. The one who claimed I was his mate... Oh... SHIT! *** In a dystopian future, it is the 5-year anniversary of the end of the earth as we knew it. A race of supernatural creatures calling themselves the lycanthrope has taken over and nothing has been the same. Every town is split into two districts, the human district, and the wolf district. The humans are now treated as a minority, while the Lycans are to be treated with the utmost respect, failure to submit to them results in brutal public punishments. For Dylan, a 17-year-old girl, living in this new world is tough. Being 12 when the wolves took over, she has both witnessed and experienced public punishment firsthand. Wolves have been domineering since the new world and if you're found to be the mate of one, for Dylan it is a fate worse than death. So what happens when she finds out she not only is a lycan’s mate but that lycan happens to be the most famous and the most brutal of them all? Follow Dylan on her rocky journey, combatting life, love, and loss. A new spin on the typical wolf story. I hope you enjoy it. Warning, mature content. Scenes of strong Abuse. Scenes of self-harm Scenes of Rape. Scenes of a Sexually explicit nature. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Who Are The Villains In 'Foundryside'?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 16:38:15

The villains in 'Foundryside' are terrifying because they're not just evil for evil's sake—they're products of a broken system. The main antagonist is Estelle Candiano, the ruthless CEO of the Merchant House Candiano. She’s not some cartoon villain; she’s calculating, willing to crush anyone to maintain her family’s monopoly over scriving (the book’s magic system). What makes her scary is how she weaponizes bureaucracy and wealth. Then there’s Gregor Dandolo, a twisted revolutionary who wants to burn the system down, but his methods are just as brutal as the corruption he fights. The real kicker? The hierophants—ancient, godlike beings trapped in artifacts—who manipulate everything from the shadows. Their motives are alien, their power absolute, and they don’t even see humans as worth considering.

How Does 'Foundryside' End?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 23:55:19

The ending of 'Foundryside' is a rollercoaster of revelations and high-stakes action. Sancia finally confronts Tevanne’s elite, using her scriving skills to outwit them in a way that turns their own magic against them. The climax involves a desperate battle where she and her allies—Gregor, Berenice, and Orso—unravel the truth about the hierophants and their godlike power over reality. Sancia makes a huge sacrifice, merging with the sentient artifact Clef to gain enough power to stop Tevanne’s plans. The book closes with her surviving but changed, her body now partially scrived, hinting at even greater challenges ahead. It’s a perfect setup for the sequel, leaving you itching to see how she’ll navigate this new reality.

Who Is The Main Protagonist In 'Foundryside'?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 12:20:39

The main protagonist in 'Foundryside' is Sancia Grado, a thief with a unique talent that makes her stand out in the world of Tevanne. She's got this ability to 'listen' to scrived objects—magical items powered by coded commands—which gives her an edge in heists. Sancia's rough around the edges, having grown up in the slums, but she's sharp as a razor and deeply pragmatic. Her journey kicks off when she steals an artifact that turns out to be way more dangerous than she bargained for, dragging her into a conspiracy involving the city's powerful merchant houses. What I love about Sancia is her grit; she's not your typical hero, but her determination and cleverness make her unforgettable.

Is 'Foundryside' Part Of A Series?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 23:53:30

I've been completely hooked on 'Foundryside' since its release, and yes, it's absolutely part of a series! It's the first book in 'The Founders Trilogy' by Robert Jackson Bennett. The story follows Sancia Grado, a thief with a unique magical ability, as she uncovers world-altering secrets in a city built on industrialized magic. The world-building is insane—imagine magic treated like computer code, where objects can be 'scrived' to defy physics. The sequel, 'Shorefall', dives deeper into the consequences of Sancia's discoveries, and the finale, 'Locklands', wraps up the trilogy with an epic showdown. If you love heist stories with deep lore and ethical dilemmas, this series is gold. Each book escalates the stakes while keeping the characters painfully human.

What Is The Magic System Like In 'Foundryside'?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 02:21:01

The magic system in 'Foundryside' is called scriving, and it’s one of the most innovative takes on magic I’ve seen. Scriving works by convincing objects to behave differently than their physical nature allows. It’s like hacking reality—carving commands into objects that make them defy logic. For example, a wheel can be scrived to believe it’s rolling downhill even on flat ground, making a cart move without horses. The system has strict rules, though. Commands must be precise, or they fail catastrophically. The more complex the scriving, the more likely it is to unravel, sometimes with explosive results. What I love is how scriving mirrors coding—layers of logic that can be buggy or brilliant. The protagonist, Sancia, is a thief who can 'hear' scrived objects, giving her a unique edge in a world where entire cities run on this magic.

What Makes 'Foundryside' Unique Among Fantasy Novels?

3 คำตอบ2025-06-25 17:03:28

The magic system in 'Foundryside' is what truly sets it apart. Instead of traditional spells or elemental control, characters use 'scriving'—a form of reality hacking where they rewrite the laws of physics on objects. Imagine convincing a wheel it's rolling downhill when it's actually on flat ground. The protagonist Sancia, a thief with the rare ability to hear scrived commands, uses this to pull off impossible heists. The world-building is gritty and industrial, blending Renaissance-era tech with corporate espionage where merchant houses war over magical patents. It's like 'Ocean's Eleven' meets alchemy, with stakes that keep escalating from street crime to world-ending threats.
