The City We Became is a fantasy novel by N. K. Jemisin set in a version of New York City where major cities are sentient and have human avatars. The novel follows the story of five avatars – Manny, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Bronca, and Padmini – as they come together to fight the Woman in White, a supernatural entity that threatens the city.
The avatars are all from different backgrounds and have different skills and abilities. Manny is a homeless graffiti artist who can see the city’s ley lines. Brooklyn is a wealthy hedge fund manager who can control the weather. Staten Island is a retired firefighter who can breathe underwater. Bronca is a subway conductor who can control the trains. Padmini is a doctor who can heal the sick.
The avatars must overcome their differences and work together to defeat the Woman in White. They also must learn to navigate the complex politics of New York City, where different groups are vying for power. In the end, the avatars are victorious, but the city is still recovering from the battle. The avatars are determined to rebuild New York and make it a better place for everyone. They know that they have a lot of work ahead of them, but they are confident that they can succeed.
