LangmeadWelcome to Jamie Pike’s Fairharbour – a city stuck in
perpetual winter, its windows and doorways bricked shut to keep out
the freezing cold, its residents striving to survive in the arctic
conditions. Welcome to Esther Pike’s Fairharbour – a city stuck in
constant summer, its walls crumbling in the heat, its oppressive
sunlight a relentless presence.Winter and Summer alike, have both
fallen under the yoke of oppressive powers, that have taken control
after the cataclysm. But both Fairharbours were once a single,
united city. And in certain places, at certain times, one side can
catch a glimpse of the other.As Jamie and Esther find a way to
communicate across the divide, they set out to solve the mystery of
what split their city in two, and what, if anything, might repair
their fractured worlds.
