Canopy

Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:31:47 +0200

See the girl in the trees.

In the lush treetops of the engineered North American forests, a community of climbers fear the cannibals roaming far below and cling to the teachings of their sacred text.

Sixteen-year-old Ostrya is the envy of her friends. She is training to be the canopy's next doctor. If only it didn't feel like such a burden.

But why is the forest so angry?

A cataclysmic storm wracks the canopy, jettisoning hundreds of climbers to early graves on the forest floor.

Those that survive face starvation and disease. Struggling to rebuild and relying on their new doctor, the climbers begin doubting Ostrya even more than she doubts herself.

Following mistake after mistake, Ostrya's patients dub her the Blight.

As the number of dead mounts, there is only one way to appease the forest. The Blight must be eradicated.

The doctor must die.

Catch her if you...

Boys don't cry.

Lazlo lives by his wits on the mean streets of First City. Stolen from his mother when he was twelve and used as a lab rat, he'll do whatever it takes to return home.

Slinging dust is a crime, but it pays the bills.

During a police raid, Lazlo is caught holding the bag. Just like that, he's sentenced to ten years in prison—a quarter of an outsider's lifespan. When the warden offers him a chance to halve his sentence by working the Line, Lazlo believes his luck is changing. Too bad he doesn't know what he's agreed to.

Body breaking labor in a harsh desert. Electrocution. Severed limbs. But there are worse things that can kill a human. The Line is all that stands between civilization and the monsters on the other side.

And Lazlo's got a target on his back.

If he ever wants to see home again, he'll need to escape prison...
