“Combine equal parts of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series and Chine Miéville’s Perdido Street Station, throw in a dash of Aubrey BeardsleyandJ.K. Huysmans, and you’ll get some idea of this disturbing, decadent first novel.”—Publishers Weekly Gwynn and Raule are rebels on the run, with little in common except being on the losing side of a hard-fought war. Gwynn is a gunslinger from the north, a loner, a survivor . . . a killer. Raule is a wandering surgeon, a healer who still believes in just—and lost—causes. Bound by a desire to escape the ghosts of the past, together they flee to the teeming city of Ashamoil, where Raule plies her trade among the desperate and destitute, and Gwynn becomes bodyguard and assassin for the household of a corrupt magnate. There, in the saving and taking of lives, they find themselves immersed in a world where art infects life, dream and waking fuse, and splendid and frightening miracles begin to bloom . . . “The plot, with its stories-within-stories and its offhand descriptions of wonders and prodigies, brings to mind the works of Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges.”—Locus

Fuyant une révolution avortée, Gwynn le soudard et Raule la chirurgienne itinérante arrivent dans la cité d'Escorionte où règnent luxuriance et corruption. L'un se met au service d'un trafiquant d'esclaves, l'autre s'établit dans un quartier miséreux pour y pratiquer son art. Mais une graveuse du nom de Beth attire Gwynn dans un univers où l'art subvertit le réel, où la raison s'étonne et bascule. Le sphinx et le basilic figurés dans son eau-forte énigmatique seraient-ils davantage que des signes ? Et, tandis que Raule enregistre les maux d'une ville féroce et décadente, Gwynn, interpellé par un padre lubrique à la magie évanouie, hésite au seuil d'un territoire mouvant où le rêve et la réalité s'enchâssent pour dessiner une image monstrueuse et poignante de son destin. Ce somptueux premier roman de l'Australienne K. J. Bishop bouscule les canons de la fantasy. Traduit en une dizaine de langues, il a été salué par la critique ainsi que de nombreux auteurs tels que Michael Moorcock.
