City of Giants (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781037014819)

Tired of fish guts and bawdy sailors, Anna abandons her quiet coastal village and makes for the City of Light. With the help of her contentious godmother, she hopes to find tutorage under the famed albeit peculiar Mr Belle, an artist of much renown. But the city is a place of light no longer, shrouded instead in icy mists and dark subterfuge as an underground rebellion seeks to overthrow the ruling families, and their diabolical chief inspector. Anna soon finds herself immersed in a bitter conflict as an unknown past arrives to twist her fate.

As the city is cast into shadow, Anna, marked as a herald for change, must make sense of a world grown fat on corruption and cruelty, a world without any place for a young girl's dream. She must face devastating truths, come to terms with a life that doesn't belong to her, and confront powers that would see the city plunged into an eternal war where all within would be made into slaves...
