Overview
Five New Yorkers must come together in order to defend their city from an ancient evil in the first book of a stunning new novel by Hugo Award-winning and NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin. Every great city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got six. But every city also has a dark side. A roiling, ancient evil stirs in the halls of power, threatening to destroy the city and her six newborn avatars unless they can come together and stop it once and for all.

Reshapes the face of epic fantasy. -- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog It's honestly difficult to describe just how good N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy is...If you don't read this trilogy, you'll regret it. -- Syfy Wire

The City We Became is a raucous delight, a joyride, a call-to-arms, a revolution with plenty of dancing. Eat your heart out, Lovecraft. -- Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January A harsh love story to one of America's most famous places. As raw and vibrant as the city itself, the prose pushes the boundaries of fantasy and brings home what residents already know--their city is alive. -- Library Journal (starred review) A wonderfully inventive love letter to New York City that spans the multiverse. A big middle finger to Lovecraft with a lot of heart, creativity, smarts, and humor. A timely and audacious allegorical tale for our times. This book is all these things and more. -- Rebecca Roanhorse, author of Trail of Lightning Although the story is a fantasy, many aspects of the plot draw on contemporary incidents...Fierce, poetic, uncompromising. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Highly recommended for anyone interested in some of the most exciting and powerful fantasy writing of today. -- Booklist (starred review)
