‘UTTERLY ENTHRALLING’ Trudi Canavan

‘The most celebrated science fiction and fantasy writer of her generation . . . Jemisin seems able to do just about everything’ NEW YORK TIMES

‘Jemisin is now a pillar of speculative fiction, breathtakingly imaginative and narratively bold’ ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

From the multi award-winning N. K. Jemisin comes a captivating fantasy series of dreams, intrigue and forbidden magic.

In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is the only law. Upon its rooftops and amongst the shadows of its cobbled streets wait the Gatherers – the keepers of this peace. Priests of the dream-goddess, their duty is to harvest the magic of the sleeping mind and use it to heal, soothe . . . and kill those judged corrupt.

But when a conspiracy blooms within Gujaareh’s great temple, Ehiru – the most famous of the city’s Gatherers – must question everything he knows. Someone, or something, is murdering innocent dreamers in the goddess’ name, stalking its prey both in Gujaareh’s alleys and the realm of dreams. Ehiru must now protect the woman he was sent to kill – or watch the city be devoured by war and forbidden magic.
