**SHE BELIEVED SHE KNEW EVERY HORROR AND WAS BEYOND SURPRISE.**
**SHE WAS WRONG.**
**I**n the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggled to grasp the new boundaries of their selves are dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep.
Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice--save the woman he loves, or *everyone else?*--while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the Muse of Nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.
As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to *save* them instead?
Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this astonishing and heart-stopping sequel to the *New York Times* bestseller *Stranger the Dreamer*.
This description comes from the publisher. *Muse of Nightmares* is the second book in the *Strange the Dreamer* duology, the first of which is *Strange the Dreamer*.
The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around–and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old, he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone braver than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the form of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.
What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams?
