City of Miracles

Robert Jackson Bennett's "City of Miracles" delivers a visceral and emotionally charged climax to his acclaimed Divine Cities trilogy. When Shara Komayd, former Prime Minister of Saypur and a pivotal figure in reshaping the world, is brutally assassinated, the news reaches a remote logging town. There, a man known only as 'Bjorn,' a silent Dreyling worker, discovers her death. This revelation shatters his carefully constructed solitude, for 'Bjorn' is, in fact, Sigrud je Harkvaldsson, the stoic and deadly operative. Shara was his closest friend, and he'd harbored a thirteen-year-long hope that she would call upon him again. Now, with no one left and nothing to lose, Sigrud is consumed by a singular, all-encompassing desire: vengeance. He failed to protect his daughter and now Shara. Driven by a grim promise and a need for answers, Sigrud embarks on a relentless quest to uncover the truth behind Shara's murder, confronting a world still reeling from the gods' demise and the fragile peace she helped forge.
