A gaslit, steam-powered city caught between the iron fist of a despot and the bloody fist of a terrorist.Deanna is the daughter of Eduard Hernaan, former Alcalde of Nue Bayona. Six years ago, her stepmother Lourdessa led a brutal political coup against her father. She now rules as dictator while Deanna's father languishes in prison.

The attempt fails and Deanna escapes. Cast adrift in a hostile wilderness and near death, she is rescued by a band of diminutive hunters, members of a mysterious race she knows only from history books-the Tiqui.Recovering in their distant village, Deanna meets a remarkable woman-the Tiqui chieftess Yellow Bird, who possesses the shamanic gift of foresight. Her visions have revealed that a girl of the tall folk would one day come, whose fate is inextricably linked to that of the Tiqui.When Deanna's haven is destroyed in a night of horrific violence, she must make a choice: remain in exile, or embark on the road to revolution. Dangerous and uncertain, disaster or salvation waits at its end-for both Tiqui and tall folk alike.
