Unable to share the apathy of residents whose city has been overtaken in so many wars that they do not bother to name it, outsider Kaidu, a member of the latest occupying nation, clashes with native Kai before forging an unexpected friendship over mutual causes. Original Nations that invades the City give it a new name. New invaders arrive and the City changes hands once again. Kaidu is an outsider, he's a Dao born. Rat is a native of the Nameless City. At first, she hates Kai for everything he stands for, but his love of his new home may be the one thing that can bring these two unlikely friends together.
