Original, wildly imaginative, and thought-provoking, The City of the Wise from J. T. Greathouse is an epic fantasy adventure with a masterful blend of magic and mystery, as a lone Acolyte races to uncover a murderer in an immortal city. A CITY WITHOUT DEATH. AN IMPOSSIBLE MURDER. A KILLER WHO PLANS TO STRIKE AGAIN. In the City of the Wise, where souls are safeguarded by birds and bodies can be remade, mortality is a forgotten concept. For Marin, a young Acolyte of the Library, her quiet, endless life in the city is all she's ever known. But Marin's world is soon upended when she witnesses the impossible. An artist is murdered, their death final. It's a shocking crime, one that goes against everything she believed to be true about her city. A long-vanished scholar claims responsibility, declaring that immortality has turned the city stagnant - and he intends to end it. Now, it falls to Marin and her formidable research advisor to find and stop a killer . . . before he strikes again. Set in the same universe as The Tower of the Tyrant, this new magic-filled fantasy from J. T. Greathouse is perfect for fans of classic fantasy series like The Wheel of Time and The Witcher, with the feeling of modern epics like Godkiller by Hannah Kaner and The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett.

Greathouse 'The model of 21st century sword and sorcery' RICHARD SWAN 'Greathouse is a master' RYAN ROSE 'A storyteller who knows his craft' THE FANTASY HIVE 'Martin by way of Sapkowski' FANFIADDICT
