Novels by Ian Whates:
“The elements which constitute this novel may be familiar – a vast, stratified community, a ragamuffin on the run – but Whates’ assured prose, slick pacing and inventive imagination make for a gripping read.”
- The Guardian
“Adventures in a nightmare citadel – a story that hits the ground running and doesn’t let up.”
- Liz Williams
“Born story-teller Ian Whates takes us on a gripping, terrifying trip-of-a-lifetime, through the heights and depths of the exotically grim city of Thaiburley, in this excellent fantasy thriller.”
- World Fantasy Award-winning author, Tanith Lee

They call it the City of a Hundred Rows. The ancient city of Thaiburley is a vast, multi-tiered metropolis, where the poor live in the City Below and demons are said to dwell in the Upper Heights.
Having witnessed a murder in a part of the city he should never have been in, Tom, a lowly street-nick, has to run for his life through the City Below, Thaiburley’s unsavoury basement world. Accused of committing the murder himself, he is pursued by sky-borne assassins, Kite Guards, and agents of a darker force intent on destabilising the whole city. His only ally is Kat, a renegade like him, but she proves to have secrets of her own…
City of Dreams & Nightmare is Ian Whates’ debut novel, and the first of a series set in the great city.
