"He nails that spot between utterly normal and blood-curdlingly weird perfectly."Jon Courtenay Grimwood
PRAISE FOR THE CITY'S SON:
"Tom Pollock has taken a particularly inventive slice [of London] and brought it to life."British Fantasy Society
"I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book as much. Fans of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere will definitely find things to love here; it's dark, it's gritty, it's touching, and it's deeply engrossing. I didn't want it to end."Stacia Kane
The Glass Republic is the gripping sequel to The City's Son, and the second book of The Skyscraper Throne trilogy.
Pen's life is about secrets: the secret of the city's spirits, deities and monsters, living just beyond the notice of modern Londoners; the secret of Pen's intricate scars that disfigure her so cruelly; and the most closely guarded secret of all: Parva, her mirror-sister, forged from her reflections in a school bathroom mirror.
Pen's reflected twin is the only girl who really understands her. Then Parva is abducted and Pen makes a terrible bargain to track her down. In London-Under-Glass, looks are currency, and Pen's scars make her a rare and valuable commodity. But some in the reflected city will do anything to keep Pen from the secret of what happened to the sister who shared her face.
