A LOCUS AWARD FINALIST!
Charlie Jane Anders, the nationally bestselling author of All the
Birds in the Sky delivers a brilliant new novel set in a hauntingly
strange future with #10 LA Times bestseller The City in the Middle
of the Night.
WOULD YOU GIVE UP EVERYTHING TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
Humanity clings to life on January--a colonized planet divided between
permanently frozen darkness on one side, and blazing endless sunshine on
the other.
Two cities, built long ago in the meager temperate zone, serve as the
last bastions of civilization--but life inside them is just as dangerous
as the uninhabitable wastelands outside.
Sophie, a young student from the wrong side of Xiosphant city, is exiled
into the dark after being part of a failed revolution. But she
survives--with the help of a mysterious savior from beneath the ice.
Burdened with a dangerous, painful secret, Sophie and her ragtag group
of exiles face the ultimate challenge--and they are running out of time.
