For readers of Emily St. John Mandel and Kazuo Ishiguro, a mythic dystopian SF novel set in a drowned future Britain about what survives when civilization falls--the stories humanity makes, and the people broken enough to carry them." Quaid] showcases serious worldbuilding chops..." --Publishers Weekly In the sealed domes above Britain's floodwaters, the New Gods have solved disease, hunger, the weather--everything except the question of what life is for. Below, in the flooded archipelago that was once Norfolk, Pilgrim sails between island communities--healer, storyteller, host to half a dozen voices that have argued in his skull since his parents were killed. A new voice has joined them, calling herself the Lady, and what she wants he has spent years refusing to give. Inside the Northampton dome, Antheia--eight feet tall, ageless, barely containing her grief--watches her son condemned to die by the system that promised her forever. She is done. What sets them in motion--a myth, a golden-haired boy, and the Marshlands' oldest story--will change both worlds beyond recognition.
