Milk and Honey, Bitter and Gall

By: Engelhardt, Megan

A survivor's meditation on fighting for one's community--where storytelling may be the only thing that saves us when all else is torn away--Milk and Honey, Bitter and Gall is a compact and devastating novella for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora.

In the fractious city of Third Hatch, portals tear open the sky and strand unwilling humans from across space and time. The ever-changing city's population leaves residents and refugees alike scrabbling for existence and meaning.

This is the only life Salome has ever known: from street to fold, from orphan to lamb, they become a Galilean, taking on jobs and heists with their fellow acolytes. They're looking for the milk-and-honey scores that will free them from the city as they seek the promised land--but the city is rife with violence and subterfuge, and escape is a rich person's dream.

When people have every reason to be the worst of themselves, what keeps the best of them alive?
