Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 439 pages. FANTASY. The isolated island of Jago is the only p lace Hannah Conquest has ever known as home. Encircled by the mag ma ocean of the Fire Sea, it was once the last bastion of freedom when the world struggled under the tyranny of the Chimecan Empir e during the age-long winter of the cold-time. But now this once- shining jewel of civilization faces an uncertain future as its in habitants emigrate to greener climes, leaving the basalt plains a nd raging steam storms far behind them. For Hannah and her few fr iends the streets of the island's last occupied underground city form a vast, near-deserted playground. But Hannah's carefree exis tence comes to an abrupt halt when her guardian, Archbishop Alice Gray, is brutally murdered in her own cathedral. Someone despera tely wants to suppress a secret kept by the archbishop, and if th e attempts on Hannah's own life are any indication, the killer be lieves that Alice passed the knowledge of it onto her ward.
