There is the City, a mountain of fresh concrete and empty streets, and the Tower , a pinnacle of raw steel and bronze cladding. Those within serve or vanish.
More than most, Teresa suffers for her supposed crime, an affliction she cannot control. It grants her powers that are useful, and so long as she too serves, she lives. When the chains begin to slip, her plans to escape are destroyed and she flees with the only friend she has.
The Tower wants her back. Can she discover the limits of her abilities before they are captured?
Can they ever be free?
