The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver: Tolkien Meets Jemisin in This Sensational Epic Fantasy Debut Filled with Fallen Gods and Forbidden Magic

By Rafael Torrubia

MEET YOUR NEXT EPIC FANTASY OBSESSION

No one remembers the calamity that killed the gods and stole the names of their people. Now Shipwright and Shroudweaver are known only by their professions.

She's a master of magical shipbuilding. He's a maker of the gilded gods that fuel their sails, stitched from the souls of dead sailors.

When a chance to save their world calls the veterans back to shore, they decide they'll stop at nothing to vanquish the ultimate evil, embarking on a deadly race against time to beat the grief-wracked sorceress known as Crowkisser to the notorious mountain kingdom in the legend-infested north before she unleashes the ancient power entombed at its heart - the one waiting to finish what it started.

The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver introduces a trail-blazing new voice in Scottish fantasy with an epic adventure of ancient gods, apocalyptic magic, and love that can survive the end of the world - unmissable for fans of The Will of the Many by James Islington, The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
