The City Born Great
2016 short story by N. K. Jemisin
In this standalone short story, New York City is about to go through a few changes.
Like all great metropolises before it, when a city gets big enough, old enough, it must be born; but there are ancient enemies who cannot tolerate new life. Thus New York will live or die by the efforts of a reluctant midwife...and how well he can learn to sing the city's mighty song.
The City Born Great is a Tor.com Original.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
