In the aftermath of catastrophe, Lazlo Strange has become something more than human while Sarai exists as a ghost tethered to the world through love and will. Held hostage by the traumatised and vengeful Minya, they face an impossible choice between saving each other and saving the city of Weep — all while a new and far older threat reshapes everything they thought they knew about the gods. The duology's conclusion asks whether heroes must always slay monsters, or whether some monsters can be saved instead.
