Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Made Things is a dark yet whimsical fantasy tale full of magic, half-mages and puppet companions. Includes the bonus short story ‘Precious Little Things’!
In a city built on secrets, the smallest thieves cast the longest shadows.
Welcome to Fountains Parish – a cesspit of trade and crime, where hope rots like week-old bread. Coppelia is a street thief and trickster with a small talent for magic. She also has a hidden advantage: a crew of tiny, living puppet companions, some made of wood and some of metal. They don''t entirely trust her, but together they survive the cobbled slums.
But survival is no longer enough when a local crime lord coerces Coppelia into a high-stakes heist – breaking into a mage’s palace. It could make her fortune, or ruin her entirely. But as their plans progress, a secret emerges which changes everything. Suddenly, Coppelia and her companions aren''t just fighting for a payday. They’re the only thing standing between the great city and its destruction.
