Four Roads Cross	comment	Four Roads Cross is the fifth installment in Max Gladstone’s Craft Sequence.At the end of Three Parts Dead, the goddess Seril, believed dead for decades, returned to Alt Coulumb to gather worshippers and reunite with her lover, the god Kos. Unfortunately, the people of Alt Coulumb are reluctant to trust Seril after her long absence and the chaos that surrounded her departure and supposed death. Furthermore, powerful people with investments in Kos’ church regard his emotional attachment to the much less powerful goddess as a liability, and some see an opportunity to bring both Kos and Seril down and seize control of Alt Coulumb. The gods and their mortal allies - conflicted junior Craftswoman Tara Abernathy, devoted Kosite priest Abelard, troubled Justice officer Catherine Elle, and vampire sea captain Raz Pelham - work to restore peace to the city and fend off the hostile takeover.Preceded by Last First Snow, followed by Ruin of Angels. See the series' page for tropes that are common to the whole Craft Sequence.

Four Roads Cross / int_1ff3b1d6	type	Harmful Healing
Four Roads Cross / int_1ff3b1d6	comment	Harmful Healing: What Madeline Ramp did to Daphne Mains. The recipient is much more functional and active than before the treatment, but her mind is a mess of repressed traumatic memories and Craftwork programming and her body is filled with dangerous demonic machinery.

Four Roads Cross / int_4510b368	type	Ambiguous Gender
Four Roads Cross / int_4510b368	comment	Ambiguous Gender: Ashleigh Wakefield. The character first appeared in the Gamebook-style game Choice of the Deathless, in which Wakefield's gender was determined by the player character's gender and sexual orientation. In Four Roads Cross, Wakefield is referred to without the use of pronouns so as not to contradict any reader's experience from the game.

Four Roads Cross / int_6ce78717	type	God Couple
Four Roads Cross / int_6ce78717	comment	God Couple: Kos and Seril. This is a plot-driving problem, as most citizens of Alt Coulumb love Kos but distrust Seril and the Church of Kos’ investors consider his attachment to a weaker goddess to be an unacceptable financial liability.
