CBC Showcase: Fiction on the Edge
In the world of Chris Wooding's imagination anything is possible.
by Chris Wooding
Orokos is an island city that is lashed by supernatural probability storms that are just as liable to create total havoc as they are to just simply change the color of a girl's eyeshadow. No one ever knows, and no one is ever immune.
Rail and Moa are two ghetto kids struggling to just exist in this world. When they stumble upon an artifact from a highly advanced lost era, they have a glimpse of possible power and fortune. Will they be defeated by the cruel world they were born into, or will they find new hope and a new life?
