Sunset, Water City

Year 2160: Ten years after the cataclysmic events of Eventide, Water City, where 99.7 percent of the human population was obliterated by Akira Kimura, Water City's renowned scientist and Earth's once-savior.

Our nameless antihero, a synesthete and former detective, and his daughter, Ascalon, navigate through a post-apocalyptic landscape populated by barbaric Zeroes--the permanent residents of the continent's biggest landfill, The Great Leachate--who cling to the ways of the old world. They live in opposition to Akira's godlike domination of the planet--she has taken control of the .03 percent of the population that viewed her as a God and converted them into her Gardeners, human "zonbies" who plod along to build her vision of a new world.

What that world exactly entails, Ascalon is not entirely sure, but intends to find out. Now eighteen, she, a synesthete herself, takes over this story while her father succumbs to grief and decades of Akira's manipulation. Tasked with the impossible, Ascalon must find a way to free what's left of the human race.
