About this title

Synopsis

a fantastic city of watery canal-laced canals, a city much like Earth's Venice, where society is segregated along class lines between the lower and upper cities.. In Merovingen, seventeen-year-old gondolier Altair Jones finds herself involved in aristocratic plots and mortal danger when she rescues a man thrown into the canal to drown. She is fascinated by Mondragon's good looks and elegant ways and begins to fall in love with him. Even though she knows there is no future for a water rat like herself with such a man, she decides to watch over him and rescue him from his enemies; enemies who turn out to be the most powerful people in the upper city...
