Two warriors shepherd an ancient god across a broken land to end the tyrannical reign of a royal family in this epic fantasy from the author of The Vanished Birds.
"A beguiling fantasy not to be missed."-Evelyn Skye, New York Times bestselling author of The Crown's Game
WINNER OF THE IAFA CRAWFORD AWARD • WINNER OF THE BRITISH FANTASY AWARD • SHORTLISTED FOR THE URSULA K. LE GUIN AWARD • SHORTLISTED FOR THE IGNYTE AWARD
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, Vulture, Polygon, She Reads, Gizmodo, Kirkus Reviews, The Quill to Live
The people suffer under the centuries-long rule of the Moon Throne. The royal family-the despotic emperor and his monstrous sons, the Three Terrors-hold the countryside in their choking grip. They bleed the land and oppress the citizens with the frightful powers they inherited from the god locked under their palace.
But that god cannot be contained forever.
With the aid of Jun, a guard broken by his guilt-stricken past, and Keema, an outcast fighting for his future, the god escapes from her royal captivity and flees from her own children, the triplet Terrors who would drag her back to her unholy prison. And so it is that she embarks with her young companions on a five-day pilgrimage in search of freedom-and a way to end the Moon Throne forever. The journey ahead will be more dangerous than any of them could have imagined.
Both a sweeping adventure story and an intimate exploration of identity, legacy, and belonging, The Spear Cuts Through Water is an ambitious and profound saga that will transport and transform you-and is like nothing you've ever read before.

Das Buch hat sich von Anfang an auf die Liste meiner Top-Favoriten gesetzt :) Wunderschöner Schreibstil, eine mitreißende und unerwartete Story - und einfach so viel mehr, als ich mit meinen ohnehin schon hohen Erwartungen erwartet habe.
Eine absolute Empfehlung :)

This is hands down my favorite book of all time. I read it as an ebook, but it left such a deep impression on me that I know I need a physical copy on my shelf - not just to reread, but because it deserves a permanent place there. It’s a masterpiece and it deserves far more attention than it’s getting.
