Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe

Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe

Severian is an apprentice in the guild of torturers on a far-future Earth where the sun is dying. He commits the one unforgivable act of mercy towards a client, and is exiled to a distant city with a sword and an instruction.

Wolfe's narrator claims perfect memory and is demonstrably lying about several things, the vocabulary is drawn from obsolete real English rather than invented, and what appears to be fantasy is science fiction so old it has forgotten itself. It is the most rewarding puzzle in the genre and demands a second reading.

Contains The Shadow of the Torturer and The Claw of the Conciliator — books one and two of The Book of the New Sun.
