- Summary
- "Aliar, a cheat, a degenerate, and a whore. These are the last people one might expect to be virtuous. Yet they are some of the thirty-six anonymous saints who make the world a better place. In this captivating story cycle, we meet twelve of these secret benefactors, including a timekeeper s son who shows a sleepless village the beauty of dreams, a thief who keeps his fellow townsfolk honest, and a golem a woman made of mud who teaches kings and peasants the true nature of humanity."--BOOK JACKET.
