“If there were stars for world-building, Irenicon would be a five plus, no question,” says SFX. “The book is a fountain of gorgeous detail, festooned with enriching codices and enlightening, subtly subsumed exposition,” raved Sci-Fi Now.   The river Irenicon is a feat of ancient Concordian engineering. Blasted through the middle of Rasenna in 1347, using Wave technology, it divided the only city strong enough to defeat the Concordian Empire. But no one could have predicted the river would become sentient—and hostile. Sofia Scaligeri, the soon-to-be Contessa of Rasenna, has inherited a city tearing itself apart from the inside. And try as she might, she can see no way of stopping the culture of vendetta that has the city in its grasp.
