THE SEVENTH PERFECTION
Hugo Award finalist Daniel Polansky crafts an innovative, mind-bending fantasy mystery in THE SEVENTH PERFECTION.
When a priestess trained to have perfect memory sets out to solve a riddle, the threads she tugs on threaten to unweave the very fabric of society and bring a whole city crashing down. The authority of the God-King who made her is at risk, and his other servants will do anything to stop her.
To become the God-King's Amanuensis, Manet had journey to White Island and master all seven perfections, developing her body and mind to the peak of human performance. She remembers everything that has happened to her, in absolute clarity, a gift that has eventually driven others before her mad, and will surely someday do the same to her. Seeking answers from the top to bottom of society and back again, through the maze-like streets and neighborhoods of the city she once called home, Manet must unravel a secret which threatens not only the carefully prepared myths of the God-King's ascent, but her own identity and the nature of truth itself.
THE SEVENTH PERFECTION has been chosen as one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of the Year for 2020, to be formally announced in November. Polansky was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novella in 2016, and THE SEVENTH PERFECTION may well be getting the nod this year.
