Library of Broken Worlds

A girl matches wits with a war god in this kaleidoscopic, epic tale of oppression and the cost of peace, where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal… or to burn everything in its path.

Reviews

‘A story so immersive it will leave you drunk with visions of strange new worlds and new gods, so compelling you’ll be happy to drown in this dizzying brew of technology, lore and world-shaking conflict. Mysterious, sweeping and wholly original.’’

‘One of the most haunting tales I’ve ever read. Modern epic poetry. Wow.’ N.K Jemisin, author of the award wining Broken Earth trilogy’
‘An ambitious, multilayered, multidimensional exploration of power, selfhood, freedom and love. Alaya Dawn Johnson writes with fluidity and precision about mind-bending ideas and gorgeously imagined worlds, but also with tactile specificity about food and ritual. This novel rewired my brain.’
