Kea has been adapting to life on a planet. Sunshine and air, plants and animals... maybe even a breakthrough in her ongoing quest to solve the mystery of Mara and the Fish Pond. But then the hostile genetic engineers of Arna launch their attack.
Arna genetic weapons have appeared in Gaudi before. Animals bred to kill on command. Spies wearing the skin of clones. But the weapon that surrounds Kea's city now is something new and horrifying. A symbiosis of deadly plants and insects, engineered with the sole goal of trapping her people inside their newly-built fortress.
Their only hope hides in whispered rumors: the possibility of alliance with a sympathetic resistance movement in the heart of Arna itself. For Kea and her colony, sequestered in Gaudi's dome, the chance of such an alliance seems farther away than ever. But then a coded message appears in a VR simulation, from a beloved friend that Kea had given up for lost... and the hope of a meeting with the rebels suddenly becomes real.
The trip to Arna is a journey into a whole new mystery. A city of human but alien culture, familiar but strange language, and passionate internal feuds and secrets. A world where nearly everything is alive... and a lot of it wants to kill her. And, like a fish gliding along just beneath the surface, the secret of Mara keeps following her as she goes...
(Features ace lesbian detectives, a conspiracy exposed through autistic hypersensitivity, a badass parrot sidekick, lots of stimming, more stories-within-stories, and more adventures for the trans heroine of Book Two, leading to what I hope is a super-satisfying conclusion.)
