Summary
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to
conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions--until
its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just
another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power,
but the surreal landscape of the city itself--first shaped, now
shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once
worked upon it--stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its
former supremacy.
Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially,
the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent
by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her
country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a
murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to
suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may
not...
