We choose our own gods here.

Karys Eska is a deathspeaker, locked into an irrevocable compact with Sabaster, a terrifying eldritch being - three-faced, hundred-winged, unforgiving - who has granted her the ability to communicate with the newly departed. She pays the rent by using her abilities to investigate suspicious deaths around the troubled city she calls home. When a job goes sideways and connects her to a dying stranger with some very dangerous secrets, her entire world is upended.

Ferain is willing to pay a ludicrous sum of money for her help. To save him, Karys inadvertently binds him to her shadow, an act that may doom them both. If they want to survive, they will need to learn to trust one another. Together, they must journey to the heart of a faded empire, all the while haunted by arcane horrors, and the unquiet ghosts of their pasts.

And all too soon, Karys knows her debts will come due.

'There is no doubt in my mind that Kerstin Hall is one of the great imaginative minds writing fantasy today' - Isabel Cañas, USA Today Bestselling author of Vampires of El Norte

'Dazzling and eclectic... With elements of gut-turning horror, adventure, and romance, this is a powerhouse' - Publishers Weekly, starred review

'Asunder is a fast-paced dark fantasy, beautifully, bloodily eldritch, but also a political crime thriller in a setting where even divinity is violently contested. Karys finds all her debts - her gods, her families, and her clients - coming due at once, and the hardest people to trust are the ones closest to her' - Vajra Chandrasekera, Nebula Award-winning author of The Saint of Bright Doors

'A fast-paced, tense ride through a world that doesn't hold back from glittering weirdness... Phenomenal' - Locus

Recenzii

“Read this book. Let its deliciously dark world envelop you. Fall in love with its complicated, wounded, winsome characters. Feel every last feeling. You’ll thank me later.” —Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Divergent and Chosen Ones
“There is no doubt in my mind that Kerstin Hall is one of the great imaginative minds writing fantasy today—Asunder is a masterful novel, one that is both intimately character-focused and layered with intrigue, eldritch horrors, and high-octane action. It is immersive, inventive, and intensely unputdownable. I was spellbound from the first pages.” —Isabel Cañas, USA Today Bestselling author of Vampires of El Norte
“Immensely enjoyable. Kerstin Hall’s writing is simply awesome.” —Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice
“Dazzling and eclectic. . .With elements of gut-turning horror, adventure, and romance, this is a powerhouse.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Kerstin Hall writes sharp, fierce stories with precise and visceral prose, and with worldbuilding that possesses a keen sense for the weird, the haunting, the marvel­lous, and the twistedly strange… Asunder is a thoughtful novel, complex and deep. It’s also a fast-paced, tense ride through a world that doesn’t hold back from glittering weirdness… Phenomenal.” —Locus
“Brimming with arcane horrors, uncanny atmosphere, darkly wondrous magic, divine meddling, broken yet loveable characters, and brutal emotional gut punches, this is truly the fantasy horror adventure of my darkest dreams.” —Grimdark Magazine
“Entirely engrossing.” —Reactor

Descriere

In a foolishly desperate act in her late teens, Karys Eska bargained her soul away to a terrifying eldritch being, which granted her the abilities of a Deathspeaker; she can communicate with the newly departed through touch, and uses her gifts to investigate suspicious deaths around the city. However, her latest job suddenly goes horribly wrong, leaving her with a dying stranger accidentally attached to her shadow. Haunted and hunted by horrors both internal and external, they will have to learn to trust each other and travel their faded empire to find a way to rip their bond apart, before they are both torn asunder by their looming demise.
