The Nameless City

The Nameless City, by Faith Erin Hicks, takes place in a frequently invaded city with an ever-changing name. The story focuses on Rat who, like most natives, tries to avoid getting caught up in the unending wars and insists that those who try to name the city are forever outsiders. But when a threat to not only to the latest occupying nation, Dao, but also the entire city appears, she must learn to work with Kaidu, a Dao member, to save the city they love so much.
