One day, Lazlo’s dream inexplicably finds him when a band of Tizarkane soldiers ride into his city, seeking scholars and experts of different kinds of knowledge to join their party and ride with them to Weep. He becomes a librarian, devoting his lifeblood to scouring its books for any knowledge of Weep, its people, its language, and the mythic seraphim and mezarthim that came from the sky.
Lazlo, who can intimately recall the moment the name vanished from his mind knows that this is evidence of magic, and makes it his life’s mission to find Weep and discover its secrets. Its name is plucked from the minds of everyone and replaced with a word: Weep. One day, this city nearest to Lazlo’s hearts… simply disappears. Gray, sickly, unwanted, young Lazlo Strange grows up a monk, then a librarian, and an altogether unlikely hero.įor as long as he can remember, Lazlo has cared for fairy tales and mysteries–all of them focused on a gold-gilded faraway city, where men and women warriors ride astride majestic beasts, and magic is possible. Once upon a time, there was an orphan boy. How did I get this book: Review Copy from the publisher Standalone or Series: Book 1 in a planned duology How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real? The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries-including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving? Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. 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.
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.
