“Black City” by Elizabeth Richards is the first book in the Black City series, set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans and Darklings are segregated by a high wall following a devastating war. The narrative centers on Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary. Despite the societal divide and the prohibition against interspecies relationships, Ash and Natalie develop a forbidden romance that challenges the existing order and ignites tensions between their communities.
