*SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING DUOLOGY* 'A daring quest that demands to be read and reread' KATHERINE WEBBER 'It will leave you changed forever' SAMANTHA SHANNON Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise. She was wrong. In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice - save the woman he loves, or everyone else? - while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of. As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with the thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead?The sweeping, and highly-anticipated sequel to the Sunday Times bestselling magical fantasy sensation Strange the Dreamer PRAISE FOR LAINI TAYLOR 'Exquisite prose and imagery' ?????
