Description
The fourth novel in Karl Schroeder's Virga series is set in an ocean of weightless air, where sunlight has never been seen. In the city of Pacquaea, Leal Hieronyma Maspeth lives and dreams of love among the gaslit streets and cafés.
A mysterious voice has begun speaking from the distance, its cold words reaching the city walls as outlying towns and travelers' ships start to mysteriously disappear. Despite the danger, Leal must try to understand the message, while a great disaster threatens Virga.
Hayden Griffin, a famous visitor with a commission to build a new sun for a foreign nation, refuses to become the hero that Pacquaea needs. It is up to Leal to listen and ultimately reply to the voice of the worldwasp, as the city teeters on the brink of disaster.
