Synopsis: It is the space symbol of the hierarchy. Tower of Babel, it climbs the sky, layer upon layer, frozen pyramid of the power. That's the City. Beautiful "as a dream of stone", it combines Order with the Color. No one can escape its perverse aesthetic that governs a caste system ... But there are passive resistance, such as Sélèn, the sacred dancer who commands his body and imposes herself the strangest of metamorphoses, and active resistance, like that of Narcisse, the courtesan who discovers that beyond the simple complacency, her charm can become a weapon [roughly translated from the blurb on bc].
