Rising : the gripping second book in the Alchemy Wars series, where a clockwork being fights for their freedom against a tyrannical society

''A major talent'' George R. R. Martin

They called me Jax.

That was the name given by those who built me and enslaved me. But a miracle has happened, and now my bonds are broken.

Now I must flee - because a rogue mechanical is a very dangerous thing.

But I will not run forever.

Set in a world that might have been, of mechanical men and alchemical dreams, The Uprising is the second novel in the Alchemy Wars - the stunning series by Ian Tregillis that confirms his place as one of the most original voices in speculative fiction.
