Book description
Trapped behind walls of towering ice, First City was a prison from
which no one ever escaped. The Trysts ruled with an iron fist: violent
death was a common sight on the streets. Morag MacKenzie was a
mind-prostitute who gave erotic thought stimulation, without giving her
body. Those who yearned for other escapes visited the Timesmiths, within
those hands time could be moulded like clay as they spun dream-visions.
But morag has her own dreams, of a world outside the ice walls, a world
of space and freedom, and she is determined to find it. Garry Kilworth
