An unforgettable must-read fantasy' Shelley Parker-Chan Revolution is brewing in the
semi-submerged city of Tiankawi between humans and the fathomfolk - sirens sea witches
kelpies and kappas - who live in its waters. This debut fantasy inspired by East Asian
mythology and watery folk tales is perfect for fans of Jade City The Bone Shard Daughter and
House of Earth and Blood. Welcome to Tiankawi - shining pearl of human civilization and a safe
haven for those fleeing civil unrest. Or at least that's how it first appears. But in the
semi-flooded city humans are quite literally on top: peering down from shining towers and
aerial walkways on the fathomfolk - sirens seawitches kelpies and kappas - who live in the
polluted waters below. For half-siren Mira promotion to captain of the border guard means an
opportunity to help her downtrodden people. But if earning the trust and respect of her human
colleagues wasn't hard enough everything Mira has worked towards is put in jeopardy when Nami
a know-it-all water dragon - fathomfolk royalty - is exiled to the city. When extremists
sabotage the annual boat race violence erupts as does the clampdown on fathomfolk rights.
Both Nami and Mira must decide if the cost of change is worth paying or if Tiankawi should be
left to drown.
