The City We Became

An urban fantasy love letter to New York City!

Jemisin’s series starter takes off from the Hugo-nominated Tor.com short story, “The City Born Great.” New York has hit a threshold and come to life with avatars representing the boroughs. But the re-birth has its complications and an ancient eldritch evil is trying to take advantage. The newborn crew must come together to save the city by drawing on the love, anger, and uniqueness of its people. The sequel The World We Make is due out in November 2022.
