Synopsis
Linguist Bellis Coldwine flees New Crobuzon on a ship that is captured by pirates and towed to Armada, a floating city of lashed-together vessels. As Armada’s rulers pursue a plan to harness the power of a colossal sea creature, Bellis becomes entangled in schemes that could reshape the world.
