书籍信息

阿瑟·克拉克奖得主、《星期日泰晤士报》畅销书作家重返魔法世界，讲述暴君哲学家们试图将理性、逻辑和“完美”带入这个世界的故事。

随着帕尔辛人（Palleseen）为这个不完美的世界带来完美和正义的行动愈演愈烈，埃雷斯·芬内格（Eres Ffenegh）——“螃蟹背上的城市”——成为了下一个被征服的目标。但这座城市的居民绝不会轻易放弃主权。

围城战已持续到冬季，守城者——包括当地居民和帕尔叛徒——结成了脆弱的联盟，共同对抗城门外的敌人。与此同时，帕尔军队则时刻警惕着家乡政府的下一步自毁命令。

在城内，善良的魔鬼杰克（Devil Jack）拜师于臭名昭著的巫师“寡妇”（Widow），为了夺回失去的一切，他被迫与地狱进行交易。与此同时，基菲尔·伊亚·利坎是这座城市的守护者，一个出身优渥却在入侵者手中失去一切的孩子。两人都须努力在围城中生存下来，并在这个抛弃他们的世界里开创属于自己的命运。

城外，帕尔的援军已经抵达，准备攻城，但这番援助或许会将他们所有人引向毁灭……

Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times bestseller returns to a world steeped in magic - and the Tyrant Philosophers' campaign to bring reason, logic and 'perfection' to it.

As the Palleseen's campaign to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world rages on, Eres Ffenegh - "the City on the Back of a Crab" - is the next state slated for conquest. But its citizens won't give up sovereignty easily.

The siege has dragged into winter and the defenders - both locals and Pal renegades - hold an uneasy alliance against the enemy at the gates, while the Pal army is looking over its shoulder for the next self-destructive dictate of their government back home.

Within the city, Devil Jack, a good man apprenticed to the notorious conjurer known as the Widow, is driven to bargaining with hell to get back what he's lost. Meanwhile Kiffel ea Leachan is the city's champion, a child of privilege who's just lost everything to the invaders. Both must try to survive the siege and make their own destinies in a world that's cut them loose.

Outside the city, Pal reinforcements have arrived to take the city, but it's the sort of help that might just damn them all...
