A City Without Birds

“The cameras aren’t watching you. You are.” Memories can’t be trusted in Seranid. Feisty Terry Silver learns the hard way when she’s forced to flee the utopian City of her childhood, charged with a crime she has no recollection of committing. After the mysterious Professor Camus Remin whisks her into the Slums, she finds stolen memories, a people trampled by innovation, and a decades-old Resistance that embraces her like family. In this country of half-truths and division, Terry faces more than her own mortality: resurfacing trauma, the looming threat of an all-out nuclear war, and the hopes of a people who call her the Phoenix that will herald the nation’s rebirth.
