About this ebook
'Prepare to be enchanted' Sun
The magical Sunday Times bestseller by Laini Taylor, author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy
*********
The dream chooses the dreamer.
Since he was five years old, Lazlo Strange has been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to go in search of it. 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.
What happened in Weep to cut it off from the world? What did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?
The answers await in Weep, but so do many more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who visits Lazlo's dreams . . .
The magical sequel, MUSE OF NIGHTMARES, is now available to pre-order!

Laini Taylor has a way to spin a fairytale, always so beautiful and intriguing and heart wrenching. I cannot get enough of her writing. Absolutely recommend this along with her other books.

After her previous excellent series (beginning with daughter of smoke and
bone) I was both eager to try and at the same time nervous to try this.
Could it be as good , would it feel like an inferior copy? Truth be told
there are common and recurrent themes and shadows of previous worlds but
the characters, settings and plots are distinctive enough to feel different
and engaging enough that I've pre ordered the sequel.

This tale is SO beautiful I can hardly bare it. In love with the characters and the words. Laini Taylor has the most amazing power of creating magical worlds and describing love in a way that no one else can. Devoured this book and can't wait till the next one.

About the author
Hi! I write fantasy books. My latest is STRANGE THE DREAMER, about a young librarian, a mythic lost city, and the half-human children of murdered gods. Check it out :-) Before that I wrote the DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE trilogy, which has been translated into 32 languages. It's about a blue-haired art student raised by monsters, a broken angel, and a war that has raged for 1000 years in another world. I also wrote LIPS TOUCH: THREE TIMES, which was a National Book Award finalist, and the DREAMDARK books. As well as various short stories and novellas.
Thanks for reading!!
