About this ebook
"Rao is a phenomenal new voice and deserves a place alongside authors like Arkady Martine, N.K. Jemisin, and Adrian Tchaikovsky. I can't wait to see how she wraps up this epic series!" —S.B. Divya on The Unrelenting Earth
The worst has happened. The Conclave has crashed into the jungle, and humanity builds one last city, clinging to survival in the ruins.
Forced into a deadly alliance with the Virohi, Ahilya alone can communicate with the cosmic creatures – but she is growing weaker with every encounter. Equally revered and feared by her council, Ahilya desperately tries to balance the needs of her people with the untameable desires of the trapped Virohi.
Iravan does not believe reconciliation is possible. All he sees is a crumbling bastion being eaten from the inside out. Answering to no law, he would destroy the Virohi before they can destroy humanity.
As Ahilya and Iravan wage war, the planet itself rebels, unleashing new rages of untold power. Caught between a wounded planet and the cosmic creatures, all screaming to exist, the last survivors of the human race confront the approaching maelstrom.
At the last, Ahilya and Iravan must face up to their mistakes to forge peace between themselves – to save each other and humanity.
