Lazlo had already helped Thyon years ago by giving the alchemist a storybook that held the secret to transmuting golds. For the next seven years, Lazlo read book after book, earning him the title “Strange the Dreamer.” Thyon Nero, a famed alchemist, requested the book that Lazlo had been writing, documenting his life’s studies and musings. When Lazlo was 13 years old, he went to the Great Library of Zosma on an errand and the head librarian Master Hyrrokin took Lazlo in as an apprentice. Lazlo would pretend to be one of Weep’s fierce Tizerkane warriors. Brother Cyrus, one of the monks who raised him, told Lazlo stories about the mysterious city of Weep. Then Part I followed Lazlo Strange, a foundling who had lost his real name along with his parents in the war of Zosma. In the Prologue, a girl with blue skin fell from the sky. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Taylor, Laini. In this sweeping and breathtaking novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams? Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the form of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. Since he was five years old, he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone braver than he to cross half the world in search of it. The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around–and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly.
