Publisher Comments

An instant New York Times bestseller and Michael L. Printz honor book! 

Eleven best of lists including an NPR Best Book, a Goodreads Best YA Fantasy and Science Fiction Nominee, and more! 


From National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor comes an epic fantasy about a mythic lost city and its dark past.

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. 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. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the form 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 two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams?

In this sweeping and breathtaking novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.

The answers await in Weep.

Review

"Gorgeously written in language simultaneously dark, lush, and enchanting, the book will leave readers eager for the next." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Review

"Part adventure novel, part romance and part exercise in epic myth-building, it's gorgeously written and full of surprises." NPR

Review

"Laini Taylor set my imagination on fire so hard that it spontaneously combusted...This is the kind of story that paves dreams." Roshani Chokshi, author of The Star Touched Queen
