They call it the City of a Hundred Rows.

The ancient city of Thaiburley is a vast, multi-tiered metropolis, where the poor live in the City Below and demons are said to dwell in the Upper Heights.

Having witnessed a murder in a part of the city he should never have been in, Tom, a lowly street-nick, has to run for his life through the City Below, Thaiburley’s unsavoury basement world. Accused of committing the murder himself, he is pursued by sky-borne assassins, Kite Guards, and agents of a darker force intent on destabilising the whole city. His only ally is Kat, a renegade like him, but she proves to have secrets of her own…

City of Dreams & Nightmare is Ian Whates’ debut novel, and the first of a series set in the great city.

Adventures in a nightmare citadel - a story that hits the ground running and doesn't let up. - Liz Williams Born story-teller Ian Whates takes us on a gripping, terrifying trip-of-a-lifetime, through the heights and depths of the exotically grim city of Thaiburley, in this excellent fantasy thriller. - Tanith Lee [It] grabs you pretty much from the first page... Highly recommended. - Fantasy Book Critic City of Dreams & Nightmare is a brilliantly executed novel, perfectly paced, beautifully described and a true joy to read. - ScienceFictionandFantasy.co.uk I have had The City of Dreams and Nightmare on my TBR pile since the date of release and now wish I had read it sooner, for I denied myself the pleasure of a thoroughly good book! - Temple Library Reviews Praise for Chris Roberson: .. .satisfying, well observed and entertaining. - The Guardian (reviewing The Gift of Joy ) As a collection, 'The Gift Of Joy' is certainly worth taking the time to enjoy. - SF Crowsnest, (reviewing The Gift of Joy )
