The Etched City

by K.J. Bishop • 2003

Fleeing the ghosts of their violent past, two former revolutionaries - the roguish, rakish Gwynn and the taciturn Raule - escape from the ruined and deserted Copper Country to the tropical city of Ashamoil. As they salvage new lives from the rubble of the old, they discover that the ghosts of the past are also the ghosts of the future. 'Scenes among the most mystifying and astonishing I have found in a fantasy' MICHAEL MOORCOCK, Guardian 'A brilliant first novel' Locus
