City of Shattered Light

Asa Almeida is expected to inherit a technological empire, but her father’s experiment on her sister makes obedience impossible. Fleeing with her sister’s digitized mind, Asa crash-lands in Requiem, a city where a bounty can buy an outlaw’s future. Smuggler Riven Hawthorne sees the runaway heiress as her chance to rise. Then a spreading computer virus traps the city in darkness, and collecting the reward becomes far more complicated. Asa and Riven must cooperate against an artificial intelligence that turns intimate knowledge into a weapon. Their uneasy partnership places a sister’s survival and a city’s fate in the hands of two girls who have every reason to distrust each other.
