In an alternate New Orleans caught in the tangle of the American Civil War, the wall-scaling girl named Creeper yearns to escape the streets for the air - in particular, by earning a spot onboard the airship Midnight Robber. Creeper plans to earn Captain Ann-Marie's trust with information she discovers about a Haitian scientist and a mysterious weapon he calls "The Black God's Drums".
But Creeper also has a secret herself: Oya, the African orisha of the wind and storms, speaks inside her head and may have her own ulterior motivations. Soon, Creeper, Oya, and the crew of the Midnight Robber are pulled into a perilous mission aimed to stop the Black God's Drums from being unleashed and wiping out the entirety of New Orleans.

Clark's worlds are places where people of color have an equal say in how things are run. He's also unusually skilled at writing female characters. Creeper, a street girl with a Nigerian storm goddess living inside her head, and Anne-Marie, an airship captain, are the main characters here, along with a pair of delightful minor characters - informer nuns who know everything that's going on inside the city. Put them together with vengeful Confederates, terrifying skull apparitions and a foray into a drowned Dead City in the swamps, and you have the ingredients for a rip-roaring yarn.
A dazzling adventure in an alternate New Orleans
