YOU KNEW THE PRICE (NOTHING IS PROMISED 2) IBD

Sinopse

The choice you make is the future you create.Climate-driven plagues haunt humanity, and itâÇÖs Regional Director Zuri Hill-GrayâÇÖs job to keep the clean-energy grid running.Zuri has the perfect life-a beautiful home on the Hillstead, a loving family, and a powerful job keeping the LA BasinâÇÖs grid humming. If only she didnâÇÖt see the ghost of her dead twin in the mirror. Her grief-counselor husband understands too much, her Aunties Cora and Vivian smother her to excess, and her mother canâÇÖt look at her daughter without seeing the half thatâÇÖs missing. Zuri canâÇÖt begin to face her sisterâÇÖs little daughter-to Ruby, Zuri is the ghost.Which is why sheâÇÖs running away to work, again, on the anniversary of her sisterâÇÖs death.Then a power engineer walks into ZuriâÇÖs office and claims someone is stealing energy from Power Island One-and theyâÇÖve tried to kill her to cover it up. The more Zuri digs, the more itâÇÖs clear someoneâÇÖs been tinkering in the shut-down fusion labs. TheyâÇÖre going to dangerous lengths to hide it, and itâÇÖs been happening right under her nose. Which is how Regional Directors lose their jobs.áZuriâÇÖs already lost her better half-she canâÇÖt afford to lose this, too.You Knew the Price is the second of four tightly-connected solarpunk novels in a near-future climate-fiction series. ItâÇÖs about our future, how society lives on invisible things, like electricity and trust, that are far too easy to break... and how our most difficult moments are often when we discover the only path forward is healing not just ourselves but the world.If you enjoyed the optimistic climate solutions in Kim Stanley RobinsonâÇÖs Ministry for the Future or the cozy cooperative future in Becky ChambersâÇÖ Monk and Robot series, you will enjoy Nothing is Promised.á
