HUGO AND LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • Thrust into the dark mystery at the heart of the city of miracles, a vengeful bodyguard discovers that the gods might not be as dead as he thinks—in the stunning conclusion to the Divine Cities trilogy from the nationally bestselling author of The Tainted Cup.
“The thing I have always loved about Bennett’s Divine Cities books is the worldbuilding. His universe is one of brilliant juxtaposition.”—NPR
Sigrud je Harkvaldsson doesn’t waste his time contemplating vanquished gods or divine mysteries. He understands one code—loyalty—and speaks one language. Revenge.
So when he learns that his oldest friend and ally, former Prime Minister Shara Komayd, has been assassinated, he knows exactly what to do—and that no mortal force can stop him from meting out the suffering Shara’s killers deserve.
Yet as Sigrud pursues his quarry with his customary terrifying efficiency, he begins to fear that this battle is an unwinnable one. Because discovering the truth behind Shara’s death will require him to take up arms in a secret, decades-long war, face down an angry young god, and unravel the last mysteries of Bulikov, the city of miracles itself. And—perhaps most daunting of all—finally face the truth about his own cursed existence.
Don’t miss any of Robert Jackson Bennet’s Divine Cities trilogy:
CITY OF STAIRS • CITY OF BLADES • CITY OF MIRACLES
