Built on an ancient mountain pass, the City is forever being invaded by one nation or another, and every new master gives it a new name. But for the natives, their home is the Nameless City, and those who try to name it are forever outsiders.

Kaidu is one such outsider. He’s a Dao born and bred–a son of the latest nation to occupy the Nameless City. Cynical, StreetSmart Rat is a native, and at first, she hates Kai for everything he stands for. But his love of his new home may be the one thing that can unite these two unlikely friends. And they will need to stand together at all costs…
…because the fate of the Nameless City rests in their hands.

The Nameless City is a graphic novel trilogy written and drawn by Faith Erin Hicks.

* The namesake first volume was published in 2016.

The Nameless City is a graphic novel trilogy written and drawn by Faith Erin Hicks.

Hicks, set in a city that has been conquered and renamed by other nations so many times over the centuries that its original name has long since been lost, leading the city’s inhabitants to call it [[TitleDrop The Nameless City]].

The story centers around Kaidu, a boy from the occupying Dao empire who has recently arrived in the city to meet his estranged father, and Rat, a girl native to the city who despises the Dao occupation for killing her parents, as they form an unlikely friendship, leading them both to get wrapped up in the conflicts over the fate of the city and the Dao empire’s hold on it.
