Book description
Gujaareh, the city of dreams, suffers under the imperial rule of the
Kisuati Protectorate. A city where the only law was peace now knows
violence and oppression. And nightmares: a mysterious and deadly
plague haunts the citizens of Gujaareh, dooming the infected to die
screaming in their sleep. Trapped between dark dreams and cruel
overlords, the people yearn to rise up - but Gujaareh has known peace
for too long.
Someone must show them the way.
Hope lies with two outcasts: the first woman ever allowed to join
the dream goddess' priesthood, and an exiled prince who longs to
reclaim his birthright. Together, they must resist the Kisuati
occupation and uncover the source of the killing dreams . . . before
Gujaareh is lost forever.
Utterly enthralling. Books like these are why I love fantasy Trudi
Canavan Sensitive, restrained high fantasy GUARDIAN on THE HUNDRED
THOUSAND KINGDOMS Lush and evocative Naomi Novik on THE BROKEN KINGDOMS
Both fantastically grand and very personal. Definitely recommended
