Description
In this, award-winning author Lavie Tidhar's 21st-century homage to pulp fantasy, guns clash with sorcery, faith with addiction, and love with betrayal.
Gorel of Goliris was born a prince. Now he's a mercenary, a killer-for-hire, and a slave to the Black Kiss - the narcotic distilled from the blood of gods. His kingdom is gone, his family slaughtered, and his only obsession is to find the path back home. But in a world where gods walk and magic infects the land, the road home is paved with betrayal, blood... and bullets.
From the scorched deserts of Meskatel to the drowned temples of Falang-Et, from necropolises where the dead refuse to sleep to cities ruled by frog-gods and hybrid spawn, Gorel's journey is a brutal odyssey of hallucinatory wonders and horrors. Only one thing's for sure: by the time this is over, there will be blood.

Reviews

'If you've ever wondered what a Conan movie by Sergio Leone would have looked like, wonder no more. A love letter to pulp and the deep roots of genre, Lavie Tidhar's Guns and Sorcery mashes tropes together with a master mixologist's eye, then magicks up a full force, delirious cocktail you'll want to knock back in one. Harsh open, notes of melancholy and madness, a lingering burn. This is a hero narrative worthy of Moorcock or Howard at their best. If you've not met Gorel of Goliris before, then saddle up your Graal and load up your guns - you're in for quite a ride!'
Richard Morgan, bestselling author of Altered Carbon

'Stark, propulsive, and wickedly vivid, Guns and Sorcery combines some of my favorite genres into the best kind of pulp.'
Robert Jackson Bennett, author of The Tainted Cup

'Lavie Tidhar creates another glorious monstrosity! Trust him, as always, to be innovative, lyrical, philosophical, complex and endlessly creative while giving you a story that smells like old-school pulp, blood, mad science and gunpowder.'
Smith Basu
