A City of Ashes by Nick Snape

The second chapter of Nick Snape’s shadowy saga, A City of Ashes continues the epic clash of science, scripture, and the dark-fantasy monsters of a shattered realm. The Seven Houses are still reeling from revelations of divine deception for the past millennia, but remain desperate to retain control of their people, as the Fleshmaster and his spirit-sucking legions advance ever closer. Laoch, bent but unbroken beneath the weight of the god’s weapons, must find a way to empower a new draconian ally for an inevitable showdown with the world-ending Constructors. Bursting with immersive sci-fi detail and imaginative fantasy twists, this genre-blurring installment of the Warriors of Spirit and Bone series raises the stakes even higher, offering a work of coal-dark fantasy that is continually surprising, provocative, and compulsively entertaining.
