Bar-Selehm's historical Beacon is stolen the same night a steeplejack apprentice is found dead. Seventeen-year-old steeplejack Ang, unconvinced her apprentice's death was an accident, is recruited by a budding politician to find a connection between the events before the city's diverse citizens turn on one another. This engrossing alt-history fantasy is filled with social commentary, fast action, a clever mystery, and family drama.
