The World We Make: A Novel (The Great Cities #2)
N. K. JemisinEvery great city has a soul. A human avatar that embodies their city's heart & wields its magic. New York? She's got six. But all is not well in the city that never sleeps. Though Brooklyn, Manny, Bronca, Venezia, Padmini, & Neek have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading--& destroying the entire universe in the process--the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, & "law & order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself & take it down from the inside.
In order to defeat him, & the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good & protect their world from complete destruction.
