Riveting and highly inventive Chinese-inspired science-fantasy of a royal family torn apart, painful betrayal and deadly secrets. Set on a drowning continent full of corruption and deception and strange technology this is a richly envisioned and powerful debut novel from the winner of the Bram Stokerยฎ and Nebula Awards.

Long isolated from her family following her parentsโ€™ murder, Princess Xฤซliรกn of Piฤo discovers the corrupt royal advisors are plotting to overthrow and kill her brother, the emperor. Desperately seeking help, she flees from the floating empire of lotuses to the drowning continent of Opera, a place of high tech and near environmental collapse where companies vie to sell a chance at immortality. There Xฤซliรกn tracks down her exiled brother Lร ng to assist in her efforts to disrupt the advisorsโ€™ plans and remove them from court.

Also residing on Opera is the outcast, No Face. Abandoned by the empire of Piฤo, they plot to destroy those who tore their family apart. When Xฤซliรกn is caught and imprisoned and No Face discovers the shocking truth about their past, the two must work together to stop the advisors and unify their two lands or lose everyone they love to flood and revolution.
