A Ruin, Great and Free - (Convergence Saga) by Cadwell Turnbull (Hardcover)

About the Book

"It has been nearly two years since the anti-monster riots. The inhabitants of Moon have been very fortunate in the intervening months. Inside their hidden monster settlement, they've found peace, even as the world outside slips into increasing unrest. Monsters are being hunted everywhere, forced back into the shadows they once tried to escape from. Other secret settlements have offered a place to hide, but how long can this half-measure against fear and hatred last? Over the course of three days, the inhabitants of Moon are tested. The Black Hand continues to search for them and the Cult of the Zsouvox wants to make Moon the last stand in their war against the Order of Asha. This is more than enough to reckon with, but the gods have also placed their sights on Moon--and they bring with them a conflict that may either save or unravel the universe itself"--

Review Quotes

"Turnbull's trilogy is a work that features plenty of kinetic, visceral moments but also requires a lot of patience and a willingness to follow this story to unexpected corners of the multiverse...An ambitious book."

-- "Reactor"

"Many individual stories are woven together to explore what makes a community, who is excluded, and who survives. Graham has a voice for everyone--humans, monsters, gods, and AI. He brings intensity to each story and clearly conveys individuals' joys and fears and the ties that bind them to others."
