A plague shattered the world. San Francisco rebuilt itself with art, community, and peace. But now, war is coming.
In the aftermath of devastation, the survivors of San Francisco chose to rebuild not with weapons, but with creativity—painters, writers, and dreamers shaping a city like no other. But their fragile utopia is threatened when a mysterious traveler, Jax, arrives with chilling news: a power-hungry general is marching across California, annexing cities by force. His next target? The Golden Gate Bridge.
With no army to fight back, Jax and her allies must defend their city with nothing but imagination and the will to resist. Can they stop a dictator with art and ingenuity before their sanctuary is erased forever?
A Nebula Award-winning dystopian masterpiece, The City, Not Long After is a lush, thought-provoking tale of resilience, war, and the power of human spirit.
