Shantiport was supposed to be a gateway to the stars. But the city is sinking\, and its colonist rulers aren't helpi ng anyone but themselves. Lina\, a daughter of failed revolutionaries\, ha s no desire to escape Shantiport. She loves her city and would do anything to save its people. This is\, in fact\, the plan for her life\, made befo re she was even born. Her brother\, Bador\, is a small monkey bot with a b ig attitude and bigger ambitions. He wants a chance to leave this dead-end planet and explore the universe on his own terms. But that would mean aba ndoning the family he loves--even if they do take him for granted. When Sh antiport's resident tech billionaire coerces Lina into retrieving a powerf ul artifact rumored to be able to reshape reality\, forces from before the ir time begin coalescing around the siblings. And when you throw in a piec e of sentient\, off-world tech with the ability to grant three wishes into the mix... None of the city's powers will know what hit them.
