In this urban fantasy narrative, the soul of New York City manifests through human avatars representing its five boroughs. As these individuals grapple with their newfound connection to the metropolis, they must unite against an ancient, otherworldly threat seeking to destroy the city's identity. Jemisin weaves a complex tapestry of mythology and contemporary struggle, reimagining the urban landscape as a living, breathing entity.
