City of Hope and Despair by Ian Whates
Release: March 29, 2011
Angry Robot recently released a gallery of cover art for its upcoming spring released. This cover in particular caught my eye. It's one of Angry Robot's best covers to date, in my opinion, and the story sounds promising. At least, the book to which this is a sequel has received favorable reviews.
DustJacket Summary: A SECOND VISIT TO THAIBURLEY: THE CITY OF DREAMS, THE FABLED CITY OF A HUNDRED ROWS.
Dark forces are gathering in the shadowy depths, and the whole city is under threat. The former street-nick, Tom, embarks on a journey to discover the source of the great river Thair, said to be the ultimate power behind all of Thaiburley. Accompanying him are the assassin Dewar and the young Thaistess Mildra. It soon becomes evident that their journey has more significance than any of them realise, as past secrets catch up with them and unknown adversaries hunt them... to the death!
