Description
Where do you run when a world is out to get you AIs, Forged beings, superheroes,angels, and worlds that change in the blink of an eye—here is a richly imagined taleof ordinary redemption in an extraordinary world from one of the most provocativewriters working today. . . . Francine is a young runaway looking to find a definitionof love she can trust. In Sankhara, she finds a palace where rooms are made of bone,flowers, and the hearts of heroes. She finds a scientist mapping the territory ofthe human mind. She finds a boyfriend. And she finds Eros itself—incarnated in theandrogynously irresistible form of Jalaeka. But not everyone is in love with thegod of love. Unity, for one, wants to assimilate Jalaeka along with every other soulin the universe. And contrary to what everyone always believes, love alone can’tsave the day. It will take something both more and less powerful than the human heartto save the worlds upon worlds at risk when gods collide. “For Robson, world-buildingis a literary device like any other, useful for exposing buried fears and desiresto the light of day, no matter how strange the sun.”—New York Times Book Review
