No one remembers the calamity that killed the gods and stole the names of their people. Now Shipwright and Shroudweaver are known only by their professions.
She's a master of magical shipbuilding. He's a maker of the gilded gods that fuel their sails, stitched from the souls of dead sailors.
When a chance to save their world sets the horizon alight, they decide they'll stop at nothing to vanquish the ultimate evil, embarking on a deadly race against time to beat the grief-wracked sorceress Crow-kisser to the notorious mountain kingdom in the legend-infested north before she unleashes the ancient evil entombed at its heart - the one that could destroy them all.
The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver introduces the most exciting new voice in Scottish fantasy with an epic adventure set in a post-apocalyptic landscape of god-fuelled ships, goth-as-hell villains, shadow-warping assassins, effortless queerness, and well-worn love - unmissable for fans of by Jay Kristoff, The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

This is a truly beautiful book. Knocked me off my feet from the very first page and kept punching until the very end. Rafael has a rare gift for prose and a delicate touch with character that make this book so visceral and compelling. I still think about this when my mind is idle. A delight on every page.

A dark fairytale of epic proportions. Torrubia casts a spell with his poetic prose and portrays a strange, magical world full of complex and compelling characters. This is quite unlike most fantasy novels being published today. It reminds me, almost, of an epic prose poem. Half the pleasure of reading it is the rhythm of the words and the timbre of the language. Torrubia has a real gift, and it's on full display.
