A special omnibus edition, collecting all three books of Robert
Jackson Bennett’s acclaimed Divine Cities trilogy in a single
volume. In a world where terrifying, capricious gods once walked
the earth, enslaving and brutalizing millions, three unforgettable
protagonists struggle to come to terms with the mysteries these
divinities left behind— and to make sure these cruel masters do not
rise again. In City of Stairs, an unassuming young woman named
Shara Thivani arrives in Bulikov, the city that once wielded the
powers of the gods to conquer the world. Officially, she is just
another junior diplomat, dispatched by the city’s new colonial
masters; unofficially, she is one of her country’s most accomplished
spies, on a mission to solve a murder. As she pursues the killer, she
begins to suspect that the gods who once guarded Bulikov are not as
dead as they seem, and that the city’s cruel reign may begin anew.
In City of Blades, General Turin Mulaghesh—foul-mouthed hero of
the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally of an embattled
prime minister—is pressed into service one last time, investigating
a terrifying discovery in the city of Voortyashtan, once the
stronghold of the god of war and death. Voortyashtan’s god is most
certainly dead, but something is awakening in the city. And someone is
determined to make the world tremble at the city’s awful power once
again. In City of Miracles, the formidable, seemingly unkillable
Sigrud je Harkvaldsson returns from self-imposed exile on a mission of
revenge, only to find himself embroiled in a battle that may be beyond
even his abilities to win—a secret, decades-long war that will force
him to confront the last mysteries of Bulikov, the city of miracles
itself.
