An atmospheric and intrigue-filled novel of dead gods, buried
histories, and a mysterious, protean city--from one of America's
most acclaimed young SF writers.
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer
the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions--until its divine
protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another
colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the
surreal landscape of the city itself--first shaped, now shattered,
by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon
it--stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former
supremacy.
Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the
unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by
Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country's
most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a murderer. But as
Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who
ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem--and that
Bulikov's cruel reign may not yet be over.
