[Entire and the Rose 03] • La Ciudad Sin Límites

In this series Kay Kenyon has created her most vivid and compelling

society yet, the universe Entire. Reviewers have called this "a grand

world," "an enormous stage," and "a bravura concept."

On this

stage unfolds a mighty struggle for dominance between two universes.

Titus Quinn has forged an unstable peace with the Tarig lords. The

ruinous capability of the nanotech surge weapon he possesses ensures

détente. But it is a sham. In what the godwoman Zhiya calls a fit of

moral goodness, he's thrown the weapon into the space-folding waters of

the Nigh. This clears the way for an enemy he could have never foreseen:

the people of the Rose. A small cadre led by Helice Maki is determined

to take the Entire for itself and leave the earth in ruins. The transform

of earth will begin deep in a western desert and will sweep over the

lives of ordinary people, entangling Quinn s sister-in-law Caitlin in a

deepening and ultimate conspiracy.

In the Entire, Quinn stalks

Helice to the fabled Rim City, encircling the heart of the Entire. Here

he at last finds his daughter, now called Sen Ni, in the Chalin style.

Outside of earth-based time, she has grown to adulthood. He hardly knows

her, and finds her the mistress of a remarkable dream-time insurgency

against the Tarig lords and more, a woman risen high in the Entire's

meritocracy. Quinn needs his daughter's help against the woman who would

destroy the earth. But Sen Ni has her own plans and allies, among them a

boy-navitar unlike any other pilot of the River Nigh a navitar willing

and supremely able to break his vows and bend the world.

Quinn

casts his fate with the beautiful and resourceful Ji Anzi who sent on a

journey to other realms holds the key to Quinn's heart and his

overarching mission. But as he approaches the innermost sanctuary of the

Tarig, he is alone. Waiting for him are powerful adversaries, including

a lady who both hates and loves him, the high prefect of the dragon

court, and Quinn's most implacable enemy, a warrior whose chaotic mind

will soon be roused from an eternal slumber.
