A gateway between past and future has opened, releasing powers capable of reshaping more than one world. Jon Shannow is drawn towards the City of Beasts, where the Dark Queen controls the object known as the Sword of God.

Pursued by enemies from his own past, Shannow must cross a landscape in which lost technology, sorcery and altered history have become inseparable. Closing the gateway may save civilisation, but every intervention risks changing time itself and erasing the people and choices that made him the Jerusalem Man.
