Strange the Dreamer
A new epic fantasy by National Book Award finalist and New York Times
bestselling author Laini Taylor of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.
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.
