Sascha Stronach returns in this queer, Maori-inspired “Endsong” series about a police officer back from the dead who will stop at nothing to save her city from the evil that threatens to destroy it, perfect for fans of “Gideon the Ninth” and “Black Sun.”
The steel city of Radovan is consumed by fire, with survivors few and far between. Stranded in its harbor are Yat, Kiada, and Sen, whose Weaving powers are in a badly weakened state. Relying on only their wits, they must plot their way through the ruins of the capitol, which are patrolled by a hostile militia, and disable the technology that prevents them from escaping.
But to navigate the crew, Kiada will have to rely on her own history with Radovan-a place she first landed unwillingly, and one she only survived by falling in with Fort Tomorrow, a band of misfits and ne'er-do-wells led by Vanya, a charismatic pickpocket and a Weaver.
Vanya may hold the key not only to saving Radovan from complete annihilation, but an age-old fight between the gods that threatens their world.
