WINNER OF THE 2022 BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR
BEST NOVEL 'Endlessly creative... so much invention peeking around
every corner' Patrick Ness Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times
bestseller Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with a
darkly inventive portrait of a city under occupation and on the
verge of revolution. There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but
never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the
Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld,
the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and
the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights
the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers,
murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always,
will be the Anchorwood – that dark grove of trees, that primeval
remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant
shores. Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the
gateway to a thousand worse places. Ilmar, City of Long Shadows.
City of Bad Decisions. City of Last Chances. 'Ilmar is vividly
alive with ideas, conflicts, and a sense of its own history – a
truly breathtaking fantasy city, down every street a compelling
story.' David Towsey 'A master at the height of his powers. This is
epic symphonic fantasy, weaving a breakneck plot through a
sumptuously dangerous world.' Ian Green 'A wonderful twisty stew of
a book with a cast of fascinating characters, set against the
brilliantly realized city of Ilmar.' Django Wexler 'A triumph of a
book: wildly imaginative, immediately immersive and hypnotically
compelling.' Sharon Emmerichs
