The Fourth Rail

Synopsis

"I am Ayida." Ayida gathers what people tell her beside water, and since the Aftertone she can stay with a story long enough to hear the rest of it. Three strongholds grew up along the corridor — Gotham, Liberty, and Garden — each with its own language, and they are at war. A political rail thriller told through the people the war runs over. Book 2 of the Farbound Union.
