Описание: "A confident One Thousand and One Nights for our present . . . Furious pop entertainment--full of sex, passion, violence, and magic." --Slant magazine
This is the story of the legendary City of Women, told through the tales of those who founded it, championed it, and made it flourish. When the city of Bessa undergoes a violent coup, its lazy, laissez-faire ruler, Bokhari Al-Bokhari, is replaced by the religious zealot Hakkim Mehdad. With little use for the pleasures of the flesh, Hakkim sends his predecessor's 365 concubines to a neighboring sultan as a gift.
But when the new sultan discovers the concubines are harboring Al-Bokhari's youngest son--a child who might grow up to challenge his rule--he repents of his mercy and sends his soldiers to slaughter the seraglio down to the last woman and child. What he doesn't count on is a concubine trained in the art of murder--or the courage and fortitude of the women who will rise up with her to forge their own city out of the unforgiving desert.
It's an undertaking beset with challenges: hunger and thirst, Hakkim's relentless hate, and the struggle to make a place for themselves in a world determined to underestimate and undermine them. Through a mosaic of voices and tales, we learn of the women's miraculous rise, their time of prosperity--and how they carried with them the seed of their own destruction.
"A thrilling tale." --Publishers Weekly
"A masterful, engaging and utterly fascinating story by three wonderful writers." --SFRevu.com

Описание: "A fantastical ghost story and a suspenseful military mystery . . . A daringly original fantasy novel" from the acclaimed authors of The Steel Seraglio (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In 1740, an Austrian infantry company more than two hundred strong arrives at the Prussian border. Their orders: to defend the town of Narutsin when war--inevitably--breaks out. But they don't get the warm welcome they're expecting. If anything, the locals seem strangely secretive, and the soldiers who previously garrisoned in the village have disappeared. Fearing the villagers may be consorting with the enemy, the commander orders his prim young lieutenant Klaes to investigate . . .
On the outskirts of town, in a dilapidated manor known as Pokoj, the road-weary soldiers make their home for the winter. Accompanying them is Drozde, a camp follower and entertainer who possesses a very special talent: she can see and communicate with the dead. She's the only one who knows that the crumbling mansion is far from empty. It's teeming with ghosts--and they know her.
Each spirit tells Drozde how they became a part of Pokoj's sprawling history, hinting at its future as well as its past. As she listens to their tales, it becomes apparent that the story of the manor hasn't yet ended--and that she and Klaes have their own parts to play in the horror that is to come . . .
"All of the characters come alive on the pages--even the ghosts. . . . A compelling, accomplished novel." --Strange Horizons
"Delightfully odd . . . Subtle horror and extra special creepiness . . . A fine example of what the Careys are capable of." --Starburst
