"Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's Dumpster on a hot summer day. This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish, and ridiculous on any street corner"--Amazon.com. In the near future, Zoey Ashe navigates a city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. Anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star; human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. Her only trusted advisor is a cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. At least not any that you'd want to follow.
