"Nobody leaves Osiris. Osiris is a lost city. She has lost the world and
world has lost her . . ."
Rising high above the frigid waters, the ocean city of Osiris has been
cut off from the land since the Great Storm 50 years ago. Most believe
that Osiris is the last city on Earth. Adelaide is the black-sheep
granddaughter of the city's Architect. A jaded socialite, she wants
little to do with her powerful relatives -- until her troubled twin
brother disappears mysteriously. Vikram, a third-generation storm
refugee, sees his own people dying of cold and starvation. He hopes to
use Adelaide to bring about much-needed reforms -- but who is using
whom? As another brutal winter brings Osiris closer to riot and
revolution, two very different people attempt to bridge the gap dividing
the city, only to find a future far more complicated than either of them
ever imagined.
