About this ebook
'Laini Taylor is so damn good and like no other' LEIGH BARDUGO
'The kind of story that paves dreams' ROSHANI CHOKSHI
'Beautiful, unusual, unexpected' SABAA TAHIR
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 . . .

Beautifully written and original story. The world of Weep and the mesarthim are brought to vivid, exquisite life. Couldn't put it down. I can't wait to start book 2.

I already know that she has built a beautiful, mysterious and strange world for me to live in for all the whiles I will be immersed in that book. I cannot wait for the exquisite prose, the world views that turn my head inside out and yes I just KNOW that I will fall in love with somebody in the book and forever be in agony about it. Yes. March cannot come soon enough. Laini, if I forget to tell you, thank you, in advance... for this experience, I have never been through any book like this before.

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!!
