"An ambitious, multilayered, multidimensional exploration of power, selfhood, freedom, and love.
Johnson has crafted a story so immersive it will leave you drunk with visions of strange worlds and new gods, so compelling you'll be happy to drown in this dizzying, bloody brew of technology, lore, and world-shaking conflict." -Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow & Bone "Mysterious, sweeping, wholly original, and anchored by an extraordinary heroine as wily as she is vulnerable. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives - if he doesn't destroy her first. With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfill her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god.
There she will discover the atrocities of the past, the truth of her origins, and the impossibility of her future. But in order to do so, she will have to venture deeper into the Library than she has ever known. When Freida meets Joshua, a Tierran boy desperate to save his people, and Nergüi, a disciple from a persecuted religious minority, Freida is compelled to help them. Her unparalleled access makes her unique - and dangerous. As the daughter of a Library god, Freida has spent her whole life exploring the Library's ever-changing tunnels and communing with the gods. In the winding underground tunnels of the Library, the great peacekeeper of the three systems, a heinous secret lies buried - and Freida is the only one who can uncover it. A girl matches wits with a war god in this kaleidoscopic, thought-provoking tale of oppression and the cost of peace, where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal - or to burn everything in its path - from World Fantasy Award–winning author Alaya Dawn Johnson.
