Brother Hiob of Luzern, on missionary work in The East on the eve of the
16th century, stumbles across a miraculous tree who's fruits are
books... books which chronicle the Kingdom of Prester John. The
Habitation of the Blessed recounts the fragmented narratives found
within these miraculous volumes, revealing John's rise to power... from
John's own viewpoint... from the viewpoint of his wife Hagia, and from
the viewpoint of Hajji, a prayer-cantor who vowed to end John's
illegitimate reign. World Fantasy Award nominee Catherynne M.Valente
reimagines the legends of Prester John in this stunning tour de Force.
