Synopsis

The monumental conclusion to Alex Pheby's Cities of the Weft trilogy. One thousand million infants are dead, and Nathan Treeves is back. He’s become the Master of Waterblack, the City of the Dead. And Sharli, once a sacrifice, then an assassin, is now a trained God-Killer. She has killed many—but failed in killing Nathan Treeves years ago. Soon she, and the Women’s Vanguard, will have another chance, even as The Master, The Mistress and the Atheistic Crusade hurtle toward their final confrontation. The world of Mordew returns in the epic conclusion to the Cities of the Weft trilogy. Welcome to Waterblack.

“But where else was there to go? This place — this drowned and deathly city where he could breathe and live, the people of which he could redeem, or revenge, or make into angels — wasn’t this his place? More than Mordew. More than Malarkoi. More than the immaterial realm and the intermediate realms.......more
