Do you dream of a city at the end of time?
In a time like the present, in a world that may or may not be our own, three young peopleâ"Ginny, Jack, and Danielâ"dream of a doomed, decadent city of the distant future: the Kalpa. Ginnyâs and Jackâs dreams overtake them without warning, leaving their bodies behind while carrying their consciousnesses forward, into the minds of two inhabitants of the Kalpaâ"a would-be warrior, Jebrassy, and an inquisitive explorer, Tiadbaâ"who have been genetically retro-engineered to possess qualities of ancient humanity. As for Daniel: He dreams of an empty darknessâ"all that his future holds.
