IPPY Book Awards Gold Medal Winner Readers Favorite International Book Awards Gold Medal Winner A Wishing Shelf Book Award Winner This is a fantasy. Of a City of water and glass. Of drowned things and lost memories lying just below its surface. Of concrete slums, and a decaying Oracle Tower. And a deep underground. It is also a fantasy of orphan children. Like Dagny Losh. She is an escape artist. Not a chosen profession but a survival tactic, thrust upon her at a young age to break free from poverty and violence, fever and flood. While others perished, Dagny emerged into a privileged world of polished brass gates and opportunity. But she is an imposter, a misfit in fine clothes. Perfumed with dirty fingernails. Now, at seventeen, Dagny remains rudderless and lonely. Longing for a connection to a changing world. What she finds is a fragment of her old life, before the river washed everything away. A fragment once thought forever lost. And it will take all she has to protect it.

Michael Breen is an award-winning fantasy author. He has a background in theatre (favorite playwrights tend to be a bit dark and Irish). He used to write simple songs with good friends and still listens to the same punk bands that he did in high school. Michael likes truthful fantasy, books that are fearless, and British TV shows. When not writing, he is usually thinking about writing or trying to figure out how a mandolin works. Michael has won the gold medal for fantasy in the 2023 Independent Publisher "IPPY" Book Awards, the gold medal for young adult fantasy in the 2023 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards, and a bronze medal in the U.K.'s Wishing Shelf Book Awards, among other accolades.
