No one had ever escaped first city. Its icy walls were an impenetrable obstacle. Its governing force was a tyrannical computer. Its melancholy prisoners were mindless drones. Yet there were still a few who yearned for a better life; people who had looked into the vision-giving eyes of a Timesmith, and had dreamed of worlds beyond the walls. A prostitute who sold not her body, but the erotic experiences of her mind, Morag MacKensie had both the talent of a Timesmith and a dream of freedom. Together with a daring anarchist, Ben Blakely, she would strive to discover the secret of the Primary, the semi-organic computer that ruled them - and with the forces of her powerful imagination on her side, try to break its icy stranglehold on their future.
