THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS
A tale of divine power-politics, magic and conspiracy, THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS, is the exciting new fantasy novel from multi-award-winning Aliette de Bodard. Panoramic in scope, fast-moving and immersive, it is a gripping, dark spin on the War in Heaven.
In the late twentieth century, the streets of Paris are lined with haunted ruins, the aftermath of a Great War between arcane powers. The Grand Magasins have been reduced to piles of debris, Notre-Dame is a burnt-out shell, and the Seine has turned black with ashes and rubble and the remnants of the spells that tore the city apart. But those that survived still retain their irrepressible appetite for novelty and distraction, and The Great Houses still vie for dominion over France's once grand capital.
Once the most powerful and formidable, House Silverspires now lies in disarray. Its magic is ailing; its founder, Morningstar, has been missing for decades; and now something from the shadows stalks its people inside their very own walls.
Within the House, three very different people must come together: a naive but powerful Fallen angel; an alchemist with a self-destructive addiction; and a resentful young man wielding spells of unknown origin. They may be Silverspires' salvationor the architects of its last, irreversible fall. And if Silverspires falls, so may the city itself.
Aliette de Bodard is one of the hottest rising stars in the world of SF and Fantasy. Her debut trilogy, Obsidian & Blood was published by Angry Robot to much acclaim. She lives in Paris. Aliette's fiction has won a 2013 Nebula and LOCUS Award, a BSFA Award and Writers of the Future. Her work has also been nominated multiple times for Hugo and Campbell Awards.
