When a strange new visitor arrives-a woman riding an orca, with a polar bear at her side-the city is entranced. “Simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder.” -Ann LeckieĪfter the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city’s denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new way of living, however, the city is starting to fray along the edges-crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of incredible wealth alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called “the breaks” is ravaging the population. “One of the most intriguing future cities in years.” -Charlie Jane Anders
