NINE LAYERS OF SKY by LIZ WILLIAMS
|
SummaryIn such novels as The Poison Master and Empire of Bones,
Liz Williams sparked readers' imaginations by creating
worlds at once strange and familiar. Now this bold new
writer delivers a profound and provocative look at human
nature in a timely novel of a nation--and a world--torn
asunder, and of a hope that refuses to die. Nine Layers of Sky A former Soviet rocket scientist, Elena Irinovna now cleans
office buildings--until she crosses paths with Ilya
Muromyets. A remnant of Russia's glorious and fabled past,
Ilya is an eight-hundred-year-old hero turned heroin
addict, dreaming of a death that never comes. They are
brought together by a strange artifact Elena has found,
which offers a glimpse into another dimension, creating a
dangerous breach in a world Elena only thought she knew... Ilya is no stranger to the unexplained. He's been hired by
a mysterious organization to track down the artifact. But
nothing prepares him for what it offers--or for a woman
like Elena. Fighting their own inner demons as well as
those from across the breach, Ilya and Elena embark on a
harrowing trip between nations and worlds. And for the
first time the man of myth and the woman of science
discover that they have a dream to defend--and even die
for...
