From one of the most exciting new voices in fantasy comes the satisfying conclusion to Davinia Evans's wickedly entertaining debut trilogy full of monsters, mayhem, dangerous society ladies, and a dragon who holds the fate of the most famous alchemist of all in her claws.

Siyon Velo has given magic back to the Mundane. But with it, monsters of myth have awoken to cause chaos in Bezim and—of course—everyone's blaming him. Hunted high and low, Siyon struggles against the rising tide of mystery, magic and mayhem threatening the city that's turned its back on him.

In the Flower District, Lady Sable has unleashed chaos. But in the Avenues, Anahid is desperate to keep her slippery secrets just a little longer, until Zagiri can join the froth and frippery of high society. With scandal stalking the sisters and revolution rumbling anew, the best—and the worst—they can do may not be enough to save their city...

The Alchemist must rise, or Bezim will burn.

Praise for this series:

'From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist's library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut' — S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass

Notorious Sorcerer's unique magic system adds to this delightful fantasy setting, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next book in the Burnished City series' — Booklist

Notorious Sorcerer feels like a dream you don't want to wake from... I devoured it and want more! — Melissa Caruso, author of The Obsidian Tower

A delightful and fast-paced ride full of flashy swordplay, high society, and thrilling magic... Sheer, glorious fun! — Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light

Notorious Sorcerer is a real delight, with compelling characters and wonderful worldbuilding that sucks the reader in and keeps them engaged from beginning to end — Mike Brooks, author of The Black Coast

A brilliant alchemical recipe! Notorious Sorcerer is a delicious melange of my favourite things, remixing historical magic with class consciousness. I couldn't put it down — Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul

If you like a healthy dollop of rollicking fun with your epic fantasy, this is the book for you — Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

About the Author

Davinia Evans was born in the tropics and raised on British comedy. With a lifelong fantasy-reading habit and an honours thesis in political strategy, it was perhaps inevitable that she turn to a life of crafting stories full of sneaky ratbags tangling with magic. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, with two humans (one large and one small), a neurotic cat, and a cellar full of craft beer. Dee talks more about all of that on Twitter as @cupiscent
