"Show me a city of walls, and I'll show you a city of tunnels." Snow Kidama speaks to ghosts amongst the local gangs of Charybdis Precinct, isolated from the rest of New Arcadia by the city's ancient walls. But when his old lover, Gem--a man he thought dead--shows up in need of his services, Snow is forced to reevaluate everything. Snow and Gem must navigate not only their feelings for each other, but a political plot bigger than both of them and a drug-ridden city on the edge of collapse. Part of the Neon Hemlock Novella Series.
