Description
In a dystopian, post-apocalyptic Toronto where the wealthy have vanished and the streets are ruled by violence, Ti-Jeanne is pulled into a dangerous struggle that begins with a missing mother and a city’s desperate need for power. As her family’s ties to Afro-Caribbean folklore and the orishas resurface, the plot unfolds through magical realism and urban fantasy—where spirits walk among the living and survival depends on more than muscle and luck. When a heart transplant becomes entangled with betrayal, addiction, and the legacy of the dead, Ti-Jeanne must navigate a world that treats people like disposable resources. Nalo Hopkinson’s vivid, lyrical storytelling blends mythic spirituality with sharp social insight, exploring themes of inheritance, community, and the resilience of belief in the face of collapse.
