From the publisher: “A multi-award SF author returns with a sequel to The Silent City, set 800 years later. Brilliant, empathic, and inspired by her people’s past, Lisbei begins an amateur archaeological dig, operating only on a supposition about what she may find in the ruins beneath the city. But what she discovers shakes her society to its very core–and could change her world forever.”
