New York City is about to be born as a living entity — and each of its boroughs manifests as a human avatar who must fight an ancient enemy trying to prevent the city's birth. Jemisin's Locus Award-winning novel is urban fantasy as both celebration of New York's diversity and confrontation with the forces — including a very particular kind of cosmic racism — that resist cities becoming what they could be.
