"Show me a city of walls, and I'll show you a city of tunnels."

Snow Kidama speaks to ghosts amongst the local gangs of Charybdis Precinct, isolated from the rest of New Arcadia by the city's ancient walls. But when his old lover, Gem—a man he thought dead—shows up in need of his services, Snow is forced to reevaluate everything. Snow and Gem must navigate not only their feelings for each other, but a political plot bigger than both of them and a drug-ridden city on the edge of collapse.

"The intricate world, grime, skullduggery, and thieves' cant of The Lies of Locke Lamora made newly intense and deliciously fraught by the emotional mastery of Foz Meadows. My heart rises, twists, and crunches precisely as they direct it to." - Emma Mieko Candon, author of The Archive Undying

"I raced through this thoroughly enjoyable book." - Juliet Kemp, author of The City Revealed

"With all the worldbuilding brilliance and political bite of Arcane, Foz Meadows's Finding Echoes will break your heart and piss you off while refusing to ever let you lose hope. I'm a bit smitten." - Brent Lambert, author of A Necessary Chaos

"Tense and heart-wrenching, Meadows' novella spins a tale of heartbreak and betrayal woven through with incisive political commentary and a meditation on the realities of addiction. Navigating a gritty world teeming with secrets and strange magics, Snow and Gem reckon with whether it's possible to mend wounds between them which run years deep—or their society's divisions, as old as the walls which defined them." - Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones

"Intense, atmospheric, and full of heart." - Joseph Brassey, author of Skyfarer and Dragon Road
