Waterblack

Summary

ONE THOUSAND MILLION infants are dead, and Nathan Treeves is back. He’s become the Master of Waterblack, the City of the Dead.

And Sharli, once a sacrifice, then an assassin, is now a trained God Killer. She has killed many—but years ago, she failed to kill Nathan Treeves.
Soon she, and the Women’s Vanguard, will have another chance, even as the Master, the Mistress, and the Atheistic Crusade hurtle toward their final confrontation.

Waterblack pushes the boundaries and possibilities of the fantasy genre further than ever, posing vital questions about the way power can be abused, who decides who has power—and what it means to have none. The epic conclusion to the Cities of the Weft trilogy, it is a book for all time.

“A monstrous achievement, as beautiful as it is disgusting, as funny as it is heartbreaking … Pheby doesn’t so much excel at world-building as exceed it, breaking every rule with almost manic enthusiasm.”—Hiron Ennes, author of Leech
