Description: "The devastated Paris of Aliette de Bodard's novel is especially haunting...A series of mysterious deaths turns the novel into a surprising but compelling murder mystery, which plays out according to the supernatural terms de Bodard has laid out so evocatively."-- The Chicago Tribune " The House of Shattered Wings exists in a rich, evocative Paris that is thick with magical history. Pathos and beauty intertwine in a novel filled with longing."--Mary Robinette Kowal, Multiple-Hugo award winning author of The Glamourist Histories "A Gothic masterpiece of supernatural intrigues, loves and betrayals in a ruined and decadent future Paris--wildly imaginative and completely convincing, this novel will haunt you long after you've put it down."--Tim Powers, author of The Anubis Gates "Lyrical, sophisticated, lush, suspenseful...brings to life an exciting world of deep magic and complex, layered characters."--Ken Liu, author of The Grace of Kings "Fantastic! De Bodard's tale of a post-everything Paris, struggling toward an uncertain future beneath the burden of its imperial sins, burns with vengeful magic and subtle, shining prose."--Max Gladstone, author of the Craft Sequence "De Bodard aptly mixes moral conflicts and the desperate need to survive in a fantastical spy thriller that reads like a hybrid of le Carr and Milton, all tinged with the melancholy of golden ages lost."-- Publishers Weekly
