THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor invites readers back into a world where the lines between myth and reality blur, and where dreams and nightmares hold the keys to salvation or destruction. In this stunning sequel to Strange the Dreamer, the story resumes in the aftermath of a calamity that has left Lazlo and Sarai irrevocably changed. Lazlo, the gifted dreamer now revealed as a god, and Sarai, who has transcended life to exist as a ghostly muse, must navigate their altered existences under the menacing control of Minya, a malevolent young goddess driven by vengeance against Weep.

As tensions rise, Lazlo is faced with an agonising decision: safeguard the woman he loves or rescue everyone else from impending doom. Sarai, trapped and tormented, must come to terms with her new reality and discover a strength within herself that defies her ghostly form. The stakes are higher than ever when a new enemy appears, shattering the fragile hopes of both humans and godspawn alike.

Within the citadel's shadowy corridors, love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction, and salvation collide. As the Muse of Nightmares, Sarai must learn to wield her formidable power, not only to protect her loved ones but also to shape the fate of a world teetering on the brink of chaos.

With masterful storytelling and lyrical prose, Laini Taylor has crafted an unforgettable tale that explores the intricacies of human emotion, the haunting beauty of dreams, and the indomitable spirit of hope. Her poetic narrative envelops readers in a dreamscape where the fantastical becomes tangible and every choice reverberates through the fabric of destiny.

This breathtaking continuation of Lazlo and Sarai's journey is a testament to the power of imagination and the resilience of the human spirit. Muse of Nightmares is a novel that demands to be read and cherished, cementing its place as an extraordinary piece of literary artistry.

Katherine Webber: 'A philosophical fantasy adventure, an epic love story, a daring quest that demands to be read and reread and deserves to be remembered forever.'

"Magical," says Grazia.

"Prepare to be enchanted," writes Sun.

Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, remarks, "Laini Taylor is so damn good and like no other."
