Description
In the semi-submerged city of Tiankawi, two worlds collide. Humans rule from their towers, while the fathomfolk live in the polluted waters below. Half-siren Mira is promoted to captain of the border guard, but her efforts are put in jeopardy when a water dragon and fathomfolk princess is exiled under her watch. As tensions rise and extremists sabotage a city festival, violence erupts and the clampdown on fathomfolk rights begins. Both Mira and the exiled princess must decide if the cost of change is worth paying. A vivid tale of migration, prejudice, and change unfolds in this breathtaking story of magic, rebellion, and transformation. Aliette de Bodard praises this novel as "a wonderful and textured tale".
