A brand new, heart-stopping novel and the first in a thrilling duology from the much-loved author of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, Laini Taylor.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance to lose his dream forever.

What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?

The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?

In this sweeping and breathtaking new novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.

Hi! I write fantasy books. My latest is Strange The Dreamer, about a young librarian, a mythic lost city, and the half-human children of murdered gods. Check it out :-) Before that I wrote the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, which has been translated into 32 languages. It's about a blue-haired art student raised by monsters, a broken angel, and a war that has raged for 1000 years in another world. I also wrote Lips Touch: Three Times, which was a National Book Award finalist, and the Dreamdark books. As well as various short stories and novellas.

If you have read Laini Taylor's previous 3 book series "Daughter of Smoke and Bone", then you are going to love the 1st book "Strange the Dreamer" in this new series. Fantasy, adventure, love, strange happenings - this book has it all. I would go as far as to say I love this book more than the first series she wrote.
