Lavie Tidhar
There is only one truth Gorel of Golirisâ€”gunslinger, addict, touched by the Black Kissâ€”is interested in: finding a way back home, to the great empire from which he had been stolen as a child and from which he had been flung, by sorcery, far across the World. It started out simple: get to Falang-Et, find the mirror, find what truth it may hold. But nothing is simple for Gorel of Goliris... ,When Gorel forms an uneasy allianceâ€”and mÃ©nage Ã  troisâ€”with an Avian spy and a half-Merlangai thief, things only start to get complicated. Add a murdered merchant, the deadly Mothers of the House of Jade, the rivalry of gods and the machinations of a rising Dark Lord bent on conquest, and things start to get out of hand. Only one thingâ€™s for sure: by the time this is over, there will be blood.
