A Shard of Glass

If you were lucky, you were born in Darlington. When the great city walls finally gave way to the rising water, the people moved up. Their houses, now partially submerged became islands of salvation from which a new society was born.

If you were not so lucky, you were born in Harlem. Although set on higher ground the toxic waters pose an ever-encroaching threat to the poorly established infrastructure of the town.

Ebony, born in Harlem, has been given a unique opportunity to work at the Glass Shard, the only high-rise building. To get the job, Ebony must pass a series of trials against fellow Harlemers and Darlingtons alike designed to push all mental and physical abilities.

Will she pass the trials and give her family the opportunity to live a better life?
