In the gleaming, retro-futurist vista of SkyCity – an island of rock floating amongst the clouds some 300 years after catastrophic climate change – one headline captivates the imagination of millions, the other doesn’t even make the daily wireless.

 

Years after leaving behind her life as a society princess to help those in need, a private detective investigates both. She discovers the seemingly unrelated cases are two ends of the same twisted vine that traces back to SkyCity's long-dormant, yet toxic roots which threaten to re-emerge and strangle all light from the would-be paradise in the clouds… 

 

The first instalment in SkyCity Serials – introducing a relatably self-aware, sarcastic, and anxious new lead, Virginia Eve – The Creeping Ivy welcomes you into a grounded future world with a noir mystery that shifts gears between sci-fi intrigue, emotional romance, and swashbuckling adventure.
