Publisher's summary

After the climate wars, a floating city was constructed in the Arctic Circle. Once a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering it is now rife with corruption and the population simmers with unrest.

Into this turmoil comes a strange new visitor - a woman accompanied by an orca and a chained polar bear. She disappears into the crowds looking for someone she lost 30 years ago, followed by whispers of a vanished people who could bond with animals. Her arrival draws together four people and sparks a chain of events that will change Blackfish City forever.

Disturbing, powerful and fearlessly imagines, Blackfish City is a mesmerising novel from a remarkable new voice in science-fiction.

Critic reviews

"An incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder." (Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula and Clarke Award-winning author)

"Miller is a fiercely strong writer and this book is a blast." (Daryl Gregory, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Spoonbenders)

"I haven't been this swept away by imagination and worldbuilding since Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials." (Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award-nominated author of Her Body and Other Parties)
