520    "The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods 
       to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions--
       until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has 
       become just another colonial outpost of the world's new 
       geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city 
       itself--first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of 
       miracles its guardians once worked upon it--stands as a 
       constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into 
       this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the 
       unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat 
       sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of 
       her country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch
       a murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to
       suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may 
       not be as dead as they seem--and that Bulikov's cruel 
       reign may not yet be over."-- From back cover.
