Elizabeth Hand's dynamite debut novel, a sensual dystopian journey through a world unburdened by moral taboos
Set in the surreal, post-apocalyptic City of Trees, Winterlong centers on Wendy Wanders, a girl who can tap into the dreams and emotions of the people around her, and her long-lost twin brother, Raphael, a seductive sacred courtesan to the City's decadent elite. During their voyage, they encounter manmade and godlike monstrosities--both hideous and gorgeous--in their effort to stop an ancient power from consuming all.
Blending science fiction and fantasy, Winterlong is a dark fairy tale about a land where societal and sexual taboos have disappeared, and what's left is a world that is both lyrical and terrifying, familiar and striking.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Elizabeth Hand including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
