{"product_id":"2940170683703","title":"The Glass Books of The Dream Eaters (Abridged)","description":"It began with a simple note: a letter of rejection delivered to Miss Temple on her maid's silver tray. But for Miss Temple, her fiancé's cruel rejection will ignite a harrowing quest for truth, plunging her into a mystery as dizzying as a hall of mirrors. Thus begins Gordon Dahlquist's spectacular literary debut, a novel of Victorian suspense that shatters conventions and seethes with danger and eroticism. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Miss Temple's pursuit soon leads to a remote, forbidding estate where all inhibitions are laid bare and shocking discoveries lie behind its closed doors: men and women in provocative disguise, acts of licentiousness and violence, heroism and awakening. But she will also find two allies: Cardinal Chang, a brutal assassin with the heart of a poet, and a royal doctor named Svenson, at once fumbling and heroic -- both of whom, like her, lost someone at Harschmort Manor. The search for answers hurtles this unlikely trio from elegant brothels and gaslit alleyways to astonishing moments of self-discovery and ever-mounting peril. For the conspiracy they face -- a perverted alchemy of science, religion, and lust for power -- is terrifying beyond belief. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By turns brutal and tender, shocking and deliciously romantic, \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Books of The Dream Eaters\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel for the ages, a bold and brilliant work of the imagination.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160911102192,"sku":"2940170683703","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170683703_p0.jpg?v=1763813240","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170683703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
