About this audiobook
This book follows the people Sera meets after the weather learns her name: a lantern-scribe who will not falsify a chart, a chain-rigger who survived a slack collar, an Office sister who still believes the Coil can be petitioned in good faith, and a smuggler who jumped with the ship that remembered water.
The world started as a night market that wouldn't stay on the ground: barges, temple scraps, platforms hung on chains over a storm that never quite ends. Markets open after moonrise. Blue glass is how you find a path. Amber light means you can stop without being an idiot about it. Sera Venn—people call her the Moon-Koi Courier, which she didn't ask for—starts in the Lantern Bazaar and ends somewhere the maps still pretend is blank.
