Saint Death's Herald de C. S. E. Cooney

Saint Death's Herald: Saint Death Series, cartea 2

Autor C. S. E. Cooney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2025
Lanie Stones is the necromancer that Death has been praying for.

Heartbroken, exiled from her homeland as a traitor, Lanie Stones would rather take refuge in good books and delicate pastries than hunt a deathless abomination, but that is the duty she has chosen.

The abomination in question happens to be her own great-grandfather, the powerful necromancer Irradiant Stones. Grandpa Rad has escaped from his prison and stolen a body, and is heading to the icy country of Skakhmat where he died, to finish the genocide he started. Fortunately for her, Lanie has her powerful death magic, including the power to sing the restless dead to their eternal slumber; and she has her new family by her side.

Grandpa Rad may have finally met his match.

Recenzii

“Grisly, dark, lovely, funny, heartfelt.” —Kirkus, starred review on Saint Death’s Daughter
“Every character arrives in a burst: fully-realized, always finding their mark, dripping with detail and a fire in their heart.” —Reactor on Saint Death’s Daughter
“Wildly inventive.” —Buzzfeed on Saint Death’s Daughter
“You can’t help but learn to love death alongside her.” —Rhianna Pratchett on Saint Death’s Daughter
“Soaring with love and absolutely fizzing with tenderness and joy—I have never read anything so utterly alive.” —Amal El-Mohtar on Saint Death’s Daughter
“Effulgent, effervescent, effusively beautiful. Every superlative I can think of and then some. Cooney’s Saint Death’s Herald is a perfect joy of a book and I love it like I love the sun.” —Cassandra Khaw, author of The Library at Hellebore
“Bold and ambitious, brilliantly black-humoured and fantastically strange. Saint Death’s Herald is an ode to gods, ghosts, Death and necromancers – and getting out alive. Gruesomely gorgeous.” —Angela “A.G.” Slatter, award-winning author of The Crimson Road
“An incredible book.” —FanFiAddict
“Highly recommended to lovers of necromancers, LGBTQ+ fantasy, and tangential footnotes.” —Paste
“Morbidly effervescent, joyfully macabre, lucidly baroque, a gift of bright warmth beneath syrup and knives and a film of glittering ice.” —Kathleen Jennings, author of Honeyeater
“A compelling continuation… delightful and fulfilling.” —Skiffy and Fanty
“Cooney’s sophomore outing is a rip-roaring, tiger-carpet-soaring, shapeshifter-lore-ing, wizard-duel-a-warring wonder… [she] writes like a yule log on fire: warm, crackling, snapping from time to time to keep you on your toes.” —Reactor

Descriere

Lanie Stones lives to love and serve Saint Death. And damn it duodecifold, Saint Death needs her—first and foremost for her ability to lay the unrestful dead to rest. Unfortunately for Lanie, the most restless of these “unrestful dead" happens to be her own great-grandfather, the powerful necromancer Irradiant Stones...
