The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure: The First Book of the Wraeththu Histories


British author Storm Constantine expands her fantasy series about the Wraeththu, a futuristic race of androgynous beings, with a novel about their history. Told in third person and from different perspectives, The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure explores the various consequences of the life, death, and rebirth of the Wraeththu ruler Pellaz. Readers familiar with the series will fondly recall Ulaume, Flick, and Seel, who interact with a fresh cast of characters this time around. Readers new to the original trilogy will enjoy the expanse of Wraeththu tapestry that Constantine carefully weaves in this compelling epic. -- Elizabeth H.

Request The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure from the Saint Paul Public Library.
