The battle for one city is over. The war for all of time has just begun.
A year and a half after her harrowing battle to save a parallel-world New York, Sakima Tamanend is a living legend. Still trying to forget what it's like to kill, she now trains the city's children to shoot straight.
But peace shatters when a ruthless alien armada scorches through the skies, killing her father and unleashing a horrifying bio-plague. In the chaos, Sakima inherits the crown she never wanted and a broken people on the brink of annihilation.
Betrayed, hunted, and out of options, her only hope is to awaken a forbidden weapon sealed away for centuries-a machine built to kill gods. Its science defies reality, but the prototype has never been tested in battle.
Sakima faces an impossible choice: submit to a merciless enemy or unleash a power that could destroy everything she's sworn to protect.
Fans of the high-stakes warfare of Red Rising, the mythic scale of Dune, and the ruthless power plays of The Expanse will be hooked by City In My Hands.
Immerse yourself in the saga where one warrior-queen's final gambit could turn the tide of a hopeless war-or lead the last of her people to their doom.
Thomas More
Thomas More balanced public duty with deep moral conviction, leaving a legacy shaped by intellect and principle. Born in 1478 in London, he rose to become a lawyer, scholar, and Lord Chancellor under Henry VIII before his dramatic fall from favor. A philosophy grounded in conscience, faith, and humanist ideals guided his life, often placing moral truth above political power.Intellectual curiosity and social critique define the heart of his work. In works such as Utopia, he crafted a cohesive and fluid vision of an ideal society governed by reason, communal life, and moral order, contrasting it with the injustices of his own time. Thoughtful narrative reveals how justice, discipline, and shared responsibility intertwine, inviting readers to question the structures of society.Enduring influence has made him a central figure in philosophy, politics, and literature. Readers and thinkers across centuries have debated and drawn from his ideas on society, governance, and moral responsibility. Today, his work remains widely read, valued for its insight, courage, and lasting impact on political thought and literary tradition.
