City of Blades


Title : City of Blades (The Divine Cities #2)
Author : Robert Jackson Bennett
Number of Page : 448
Publisher : Jo Fletcher

A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death, the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who killed and subjugated millions.

Now, the city’s god is dead. The city itself lies in ruins. And to its new military occupiers, the once-powerful capital is a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody uprisings.

So it makes perfect sense that General Turyin Mulaghesh — foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally of an embattled Prime Minister — has been exiled there to count down the days until she can draw her pension and be forgotten.

At least, it makes the perfect cover story.

The truth is that the general has been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a discovery. For while the city’s god is most certainly dead, something is awakening in Voortyashtan. And someone is determined to make the world tremble at the the city’s awful power again.

Penerbit : Tor Books

A new storm has come. 

Ash and red lightning sweep the land, awakening our ancient enemies. The Unmade-shadows of the Enemy's soul-stir, while the eyes of men open. This war is not, and never was, what they thought it to be.

We may soon hold Surges again, for Radiance has returned to some, and shines toward others. The Captain, broken by loss, seeks reconciliation. The Spy, broken by cruelty, seeks completion. The Stonewalker, broken by oaths, seeks truth. The Traitor, broken by ambition, seeks freedom. 

And finally, the King. Broken by war, he seeks the past. That which was abandoned. That which he must not know. 

For those secrets will crush him as they did the knights who came before.

Because Carey’s not just any guy—he’s serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.
