Great short story and worked great as a science fiction novel
This was a great short story and worked great as a science fiction novel. I enjoyed getting to go on this journey and getting to know the characters. It was well written.

Winning battles means Ink honors, prestige, and life itself. …Yet nobody understands what losing truly means.
On another planet two hundred years in the future, twenty-one-year-old Isla Jane struggles helplessly to figure out who she is and what her world really means. Marked with a forbidden tattoo of the rising sun, she is a natural champion of humanity and a gifted warrior in Heats– lavish battles fought in the conjoined minds of the participants for the morbid amusement of the masses.
Despite Isla’s desire to fade into the background, she emerges as an obvious leader of her people when the senseless assassination of a youth forces her to face the truth. Her volatile world, disguised by its elaborate battles and constant mayhem, is a prison without bars and a coffin, the lid already half-closed, that they must escape.
But when she vows to find a way to bring her people back home, Isla will have to deconstruct consciousness and the very nature of the space time continuum to unravel good from evil, truth from lies, and survival from true love.
Welcome to the City–where it takes lives to save lives…
Enthralling read that would make a visually stunning movie!
January 18, 2018Format: Kindle Edition|Verified PurchaseI truly loved this book. It is so well written and full of wonderful details that will pull you into Isla’s world and keep you guessing right along with her to the very last word. The world created is completely orginal and well developed. Just phenomenal. This book would be an amazing movie. I can see it so clearly in my mind. The planet, the buildings, the characters, all the tiny details, and the battles would be visually stunning. I’m such a fan of A. Nicky Hjort, and The City is another fantastic read from a very talented author. I can’t wait for the next book in the series and any other works by Nicky. Excellent, exciting, thought-provoking, enthralling read!
September 12, 2017Format: Kindle EditionI sincerely want more!! I just had a blast reading this story. I felt it was gripping and anyone who is a fan of the dystopian/thriller genres would enjoy it. It’s somewhat similar to other dystopian novels, as it’s hard to be completely original, however, I found Hjort’s tone gave this story something different that I enjoyed exploring as I read each new page.

November 12, 2052: Earth has lost two-thirds of its population to the Great War, earthquakes, the Clover Virus, and the Death Plague. Years later, survivors are clumped into factions. Two factions, the Brotherhood, and the Guild Faction, have battled over medical supplies and food for years. The fight has come to a head as manpower dwindles and the struggle becomes one to gain numbers, even if said numbers are children…
Griffin Storm, an albino man kidnapped and dragged into the Brotherhood, has transformed into a G.O.D., a Genetically enhanced Omni-dimensional being with God-like powers, who also houses the gates of Heaven and Hell within. He is now a Guardian for the fortress, but he also has a thirst for blood. As his blood lust grows, so does his undying love for Tassta Vinetti, a Guardian and teacher who watches over the children of the Underground, the very children he saved from the Guild.
Unbeknownst to Griffin, several Guardians are aware of his special abilities, and some know that when he uses said abilities, a blood bath is sure to follow. As they plot against him, Griffin tries to tame the demons within–all the while his blood lust wreaks havoc on his soul. Will Griffin manage to control his blood lust and quell the demons within, or will he finally release them and suffer the consequences, which will cause the Guild to step?

Can’t wait for the next book!
This book is so amazing! Griffin and several Guardians get into a fight that just throws everything into a major mess. Releasing his Blood Lust in the worst way.
Will Griffin be able to be able to be with Tassta now?
The next book will get into this and I hope it’s out soon!
I highly recommend this series!
