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

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.

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,
