Overview

An instant New York Times bestseller and Michael L. Printz honor book

Eleven best of lists including an NPR Best Book, a Goodreads Best YA Fantasy and Science Fiction Nominee, and more


From National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor comes an epic fantasy about a mythic lost city and its dark past.
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 form of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.
What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams?
In this sweeping and breathtaking 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.
The answers await in Weep.

    Shanna H. - 7 years 8 months ago

    A blue skinned girl falls from the sky. A city lost 200 years past suddenly allows strangers inside its gates. An orphan who found a home in a library is swept away on the adventure of a lifetime. Laslo Strange is one of Laini Taylor's best characters. He is a dreamer, a librarian, and probably his world's greatest scholar of Weep, a city whose name has been wiped from history and minds alike. When soldiers from Weep ride into his town looking for a party to accompany them back to Weep to solve a problem, Laslo begs to go. And once in Weep, he discovers that gods are not always benevolent, that fear and desperation can make good men do awful things. And he learns that he may just be the key to saving Weep's future. The first in a new series, Laini Taylor once is again one of the most unique voices writing today.
