About this book

In Gujaareh, the city of dreams, the Gatherers of the Hetawa temple take the souls of those who are ready to die, and bring them peace. When the Gatherer Ehiru hesitates, a visitor dies badly, and he begins to doubt.

The ambassador Sunandi learns that the city's prince is preparing for war, his apprentice Nijiri would give his life for him, and Ehiru begins to realise that the Hetawa's sacred mission has been corrupted. The first book of N. K. Jemisin's Dreamblood duology.
