For sixteen year old Jane, life is a mystery. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster - until a meeting with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin changes Jane's life forever. She is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please and she will give up everything in order to prove it. She escapes into the city's violent, decaying slums with him to embrace a love that borders on madness. Or does it? Cover art by Kinuko Y. Craft
