  The City of Rapree

The meat of the novel is the hunt–Tompa  hunting the bounty hunter Kilsing and Kilsing hunting Tompa. The hunt spans the ruins of the Shon city Rapree, which was inundated and abandoned when an earthquake lowered its river valley. Half the ruins lie submerged. The other half, equally abandoned, sits on dry land.  Here’s an artist’s rendition of the submerged city.
