New York City, 1889. With her neighborhood engulfed in flames over a turf war, professional pickpocket Lily Vane has nowhere to hide. Out of luck, she steals the wrong piece of jewelry from the wrong man-an ancient ring, owned by Gentleman explorer Sir Ashmore Bedivere. Lily's wily criminal talents could prove useful to him, so he grants her clemency in return for service. Thus Lily's fate is sealed: she finds herself embarking on Ashmore's quest to find Alatyra, the last lost city.

Told in a constellation of voices and forms, Terra Incognita is more than a thrilling historical adventure full of daring heists, stunning reveals, and near-captures; it is an immersive experience.
