About the book
N. K. Jemisin creates a personified New York, where the boroughs gain consciousness and agency of their own. The narrative weaves together mythology, urban magic, and questions of identity and belonging, exploring how a city can be alive, conflicted, and transformative.
A work of urban fantasy that reimagines the metropolitan space as a complex character, touching on themes of exclusion, gentrification, and resistance through a magical and deeply human lens.
