Physiognomy
Winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel: Cley has mastered the art of physiognomy—and now he is about to learn its ultimate truth

In the Well-Built City, Master Drachton Below’s power is absolute, and he will not hesitate to use it. His primary method of control is through his physiognomists, who are trained to read a person’s face and body, perceiving that person’s past and secrets—and even events yet to come. These seers are the judges and jury. Now Drachton has found something that could extend his reign for eternity: a fruit that bestows immortality. To investigate its whereabouts, Below sends cold, collected physiognomist Cley to the remote mining town of Anamasobia. One at a time Cley interrogates the townspeople, performing his usual fact finding without issue. That is, until he meets the beautiful and bright Arla, who harbors a secret that could potentially turn Cley’s world upside down—and topple the Well-Built City itself.

A Kafkaesque journey into the unknown, The Physiognomy is an award-winning trip through a land where the line between reality and imagination is constantly blurred.

Memoranda
Once Cley held a position of respect and fear in Master Drachton Below's cruel autocracy. As physiognomist, Cley practiced a sanctioned, twisted science that condemned men and women to death for the size of their foreheads or thrust of their chins. Yet Cley emerged from the ruins of the Well-Built City a better man, dedicated to healing the physical ills of the simpler agrarian society he has chosen to join. Below's great evil, however, has never abated-and he was not destroyed when his dark social experiment exploded. For his own senseless reasons, he has unleashed a plague of sleep upon Cley's friends and neighbors-a disease that, ironically, has felled the Master as well. And the only antidote lies in a terrible place the former physiognomist fears to enter but knows he must: in the illusory house of a madman's dreams, imagination, and remembrances; in the intricate palace of memories Drachton Below has scrupulously constructed in the Stygian depths of his mind.

The Beyond
In The Physiognomy, "fascinatingly unconventional writer" (Locus) Jeffrey Ford introduced Physiognomist First Class Cley, a master of a terrifying science utilized to keep order in a night-mare world known as the Well-Built City. Its sequel, Memoranda, told of a reformed Cley embarking on a surreal quest through the mind of Master Drachton Below -- the monster behind the dark metropolis.Now, the final chapter of Cley's strange life dispatches him to the ends of his world -- and strands him in the heart of a perilous wilderness known as the Beyond. Cley's journey will not go unwatched, however. One creature still lives in the rubble of the Well-Built City -- Misrix, Below's "demon" son. Fighting his own loneliness, Misrix will follow Cley's every move, and face a terrifying trial of his own -- one that will test his humanity and heart.
