作品简介

故事背景为一片虚构的大陆，传说此地的一切建筑原是神明的造物，但现今的城市布里克乌正在变成废墟。女特派员莎拉被上级安排到布里克乌调查一名大学教授庞瑞的突然死亡。跟随教授留下的种种秘密线索，她发现了一座神秘的地下仓库，象征着传说中的六位神明，随后一系列奇怪事件也接踵而至：未曾见过的生物大肆破坏城市，建筑不断坍缩。莎拉与助手在调查过程中发现，这些生物竟然是只存在于传说中的神性生物，虽然她的助手齐格拉德解决了骚乱事件，但莎拉因此暴露出自己的真实身份。她被人秘密带往神明造物的遗迹——世界之座，发现早该灭亡的六大神明居然有三位还存活于世，而身为当初与神明抗争的“灭神者”后代的自己身上，居然有神明的血统。在冒着死亡的危险一步步解开庞瑞教授留下的谜题后，莎拉决定回到故国，开启全新的世界。【原版简介】 The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions — until its divine protectors were killed. Now, Bulikov’s history has been censored and erased, its citizens subjugated. But the surreal landscape of the city itself, forever altered by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it, stands as a haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov’s oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country’s most accomplished spies, dispatched — along with her terrifying “secretary”, Sigrud — to solve a murder. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem, and that Bulikov’s cruel reign may not yet be over. A tale of vast conspiracies, dead gods, and buried histories, City of Stairs is at once a gripping spy novel and a stunningly original work of fantasy.
