In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon's most dangerous hour, there are whispers. In desperation, a small group of renegades escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for a lost hope. A mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery and violence incubate in unexpected places. War with the shadowy city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming city to the brink. New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within.

It is a time of wars and revolutions, conflict and intrigue.

With a fresh and fantastical band of characters, he carries us back to the decadent squalor of New Crobuzon-this time, decades later. Following Perdido Street Station and The Scar, acclaimed author China Miéville returns with his hugely anticipated Del Rey hardcover debut.
