About the author
Robert Jackson Bennett is an American writer of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery. His novels often build unusual systems of magic or technology and then examine the cities, empires, and bureaucracies organised around them.
The Divine Cities trilogy and Founders trilogy preceded Shadow of the Leviathan. The Tainted Cup begins that series with a detective partnership operating inside an empire shaped by biological alteration and recurring attacks from enormous creatures.
Where to start
Start with The Tainted Cup for a fantasy murder investigation, City of Stairs for the Divine Cities, or Foundryside for a magic system organised around rewriting objects.
