The Travelling City

by

Adrienne Miller

After a hundred years of watching humans make bad decisions, anyone would be sick of their job as peacekeeper.
Reihan is no exception. Created to deal with humans who lose control over their manifestation abilities, she is more than ready for a vacation.

Worse still, virtually all humans in the Travelling City can manifest. That is, they can shape reality according to every whim of their imagination. Keeping the peace among them would be more than enough to keep Reihan busy, but people like Phillippe manage to make things worse still, both for himself and for everyone around him.

To improve his social standing, Phillippe drenched himself in the city’s collective subconscious and strengthened his inborn manifestation powers. Even though he shouldn’t be, he seems fine, crowned as the new star escort in the Brothel of Transformative Curiosities.

Reihan has seen this story play out before. But Phillippe is far too charming, far too kind, and far too inconsolable for her to simply look away.

The Travelling City is a dark fantasy mystery packed with romance and even more existential dread; set in a whimsical, bizarre and ever-changing world. You'll love the Travelling City if you're looking for:
- Character-driven fantasy books
- A queer approach to gender
- Dark themes
- A painfully beautiful world
- A Grumpy and Sunshine romance dynamic
- A magic system that reflects the characters' psychology
- Ambiguous but ultimately lovable characters
- Moral and existential philosophy

About the Author

Adrienne Miller

Adrienne Miller writes in the genre of Dark Fantasy; combining beautiful aesthetics with existential dread. Her stories feature complex romances, found family dynamics, and storylines centred on world mysteries.  


She has grown up with both classic and new Fantasy, from Michael Moorcok's Eternal Hero series, Michael's Scott's "Thraxas" magical detective romps, to quiet and heart-felt Science-Fantasy by Becky Chambers.  


The Travelling City is inspired by her love for the imaginative worlds of old-school role-playing games like Planescape Torment and the intricate character work of urban fantasy authors like Holly Black.
