In Tevanne, reality can be reprogrammed — objects can be "convinced" they're lighter, sharper, or faster through magical inscription called scriving. Sancia is a thief who can feel objects' histories. When she steals a sentient key named Clef, she stumbles into a conspiracy to reshape the world. Magic-as-code fantasy at its most inventive.
