Daughter of Elysium (Elysium Cycle)

by Joan Slonczewski

Overview

The pristine city of Elysium floats on the water world of Shora, inhabited by 'immortals' who have succeeded in unlocking
the secrets of life.

Outsider Blackbear Windclan wants to share the secret of immortality with his own people, but can he, and the City of Elysium, survive the corruption and decadence that immortality has
bred into the ageless society.

And what of the consciousness of self-aware nano-sentient servitors and their quest for vengence?

A new novel set in the rich world of Shora.
