City Of Blades

'Robert Jackson Bennett deserves a huge audience' - Brent Weeks; New York Times bestselling author of The Black Prism. Do the dead sleep soundly in the land of death - or do they have plans of their own? Nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award 2016. A generation ago the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death; the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who killed and subjugated millions. But that was then. Now the god is dead and the city lies in ruins; a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody uprisings. So it makes perfect sense for General Turyin Mulaghesh; foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov; rumoured war criminal; ally of embattled Prime Minister Shara Komayd; to be exiled here - but she's not just eking out her days in this hellhole till retirement. She's on one final mission; to find a Saypuri secret agent who's gone AWOL. The trouble is; that this old soldier isn't sure she's still got what it takes to be the hero . . . A triumphant return to the world of A City of Stairs. 'Loud; bold and uncompromisingly ambitious' - Upcoming4.me
