A darkly imaginative writer in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie,
Peter V. Brett, and Neil Gaiman conjures a gritty mind-bending
fantasy, set in a world where delusion becomes reality ...and the
fulfillment of humanity's desires may well prove to be its undoing.
When belief defines reality, those with the strongest
convictions-the crazy, the obsessive, the delusional-have the power
to shape the world. And someone is just mad enough to believe he
can create a god ...Violent and dark, the world is filled with the
Geisteskranken-men and women whose delusions manifest. Sustained by
their own belief-and the beliefs of those around them-they can
manipulate their surroundings. For the High Priest Konig, that
means creating order out of the chaos in his city-state, leading
his believers to focus on one thing: helping a young man, Morgen,
ascend to become a god. A god they can control. Trouble is, there
are many who would see a god in their thrall, including the High
Priest's own doppelgangers, a Slaver no one can resist, and three
slaves led by possibly the only sane man left. As these forces
converge on the boy, there's one more obstacle: time is running
out. Because as the delusions become more powerful, the also become
harder to control. The fate of the Geisteskranken is to inevitably
find oneself in the Afterdeath. The question, then, is: Who will
rule there?
