Tina is a teenage runaway living in a small single-room-occupancy hotel with some other runaways in the Bowery. The Bowery is the most blighted part of Manhattan, one of the most blighted inner cities in America in the year 2080. Tina survives by begging, by shoplifting, and occasionally by prostituting herself.

Tina likes to think of herself as "The Blade Queen," a badass knife fighter who always protects her friends and will not back down from any fight. Yet she worries that she's not actually the Blade Queen, that she's what other people call her: a psycho, a junkie and a whore.

Tina wishes for a challenge, something to come along and change her life, prove to her who she really is. In the next few days, Tina will face a tragedy, a mystery and a danger that will make her regret that wish.

Anyone who buys the book in any format can download the entire audiobook free on the Fates Worse Than Death website.
