While the novel is explicitly fantasy, it is set in a walled city that has been cut off from the rest of the world for centuries that has a strictly hierarchical society and power structure reinforced by religion. One focus is on the desire to break the structure and find out what is on the other side of the wall. First volume of a series followed by The Horizon: Being the Second Book of the Chronicles of Sumer. Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India: HarperCollins India, 2021, which reads like a middle volume setting up the conditions for more to come. |
