The world is ending—not with a bang, but in a flicker of fire and fractured reality.
A solar storm ignites the sky. The Antarctic melts. Plagues rage. Reality itself begins to unravel. As civilization slips into chaos, Jack Finnegan, an heir wasting away from AIDS, waits for death in a crumbling mansion—until a friend offers him a miraculous cure and a dangerous new future.
Meanwhile, global sensation Trip Marlowe—rock star, Christian icon, and reluctant prophet—struggles to resist a new drug, IZE, more addictive than anything humanity’s known.
Their fates collide as a dark force rises to reshape the human mind.
Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winner Elizabeth Hand delivers a visionary dystopian epic that blurs the lines between apocalypse and evolution. Glimmering is haunting, hallucinatory, and deeply prophetic.
