The first book in the Shadow of Leviathan trilogy from the winner of the Hugo Award for Best Fantasy Novel and the 2025 World Fantasy Awards.
It’s a terrifying pre-dawn hour. A lone investigator arrives at a noble estate where a murder has taken place… Except that the cause of death is not a dagger or a bullet, but a branched tree that has sprouted from the victim’s body.
The case is extraordinary, even by the standards of the Khanum Empire, where mushrooms cool the air in houses, tree fruits glow in the dark, and giant leviathan monsters emerge from the depths of the sea every year and attack the Empire’s coast. So the investigators are unusual: the young Dinios Kol, endowed with a supernatural memory, and his experienced mentor - the mysterious Anagosa Doliabra, whose genius borders on madness. They soon begin to suspect that the dead man stretched out on a tree is involved in a terrifying conspiracy capable of destroying the foundations of an entire Empire.
