Song of the Shrike
29.99 €
Gautier's father taught him that everyone must know their place in this world. Purebloods rule. Half-bloods labor. The lowly destroy.
Jerome learned only one truth from childhood. Purebloods celebrate. Half-bloods serve. The lowly suffer.
Their worlds might never have collided if not for Scariel.
A collector's edition of the first part of the "Song of the Shrike" cycle, written in the dark academy genre, in a new edition.
The events of the novel unfold in an alternative world, but very similar to our own, where society is divided into three classes: the lowly, the half-blood, and the high-blood.
In his cycle, Francis explores the eternally relevant themes of fathers and children, class inequality, friendship and romance, the search for self and truth. Vivid emotions, a dark academy, pressing social themes, reflections on Sergei Diaghilev and Alexander the Great, the intrigues of rulers, and the spirit of revolution—all this is "The Song of the Shrike."
The novel's events are told from the perspective of two characters from opposing social classes.
New artwork: illustrations on coated paper and colored endpapers.
Stop-motion animation at the page numbers: quickly flipping through the pages reveals the flight of a shrike.
The endpaper map was drawn by Ekaterina Zvontsova.
