Description

The world has changed. The great geoengineering projects have failed, and the Antarctic Peninsula is home to Earth's newest nation. Austral Morales Ferrado, a child of the last generation of ecopoets, lives in this harsh new world. Austral has a past marked by hardship and desperation. She has been a convict, a corrections officer, and consort to a criminal. Now, out of necessity, she has committed a kidnapping. But before she can collect the ransom and make a new life elsewhere, she must evade a criminal gang that has its own plans for her. This vivid portrayal of a treacherous new world is shaped by the betrayals and mistakes of the past. It's a story about survival in a world where climate change has created a fragile ecosystem, and the consequences of human actions are starkly revealed.
