The Phoenix Pencil Company (2025)
Allison King
"A beautiful ode to the warmth of family connection, the power of memory, and the magic of the written word."
Rakesfall (2024)
Vajra Chandrasekera
"A work of boundless creativity. Every mind-expanding chapter is another twist of the kaleidoscope. This is a fearless, hallucinatory novel that takes colonial (and all) power structures on with art and style."
Moonbound (2024)
(Penumbraverse)
Robin Sloan
"A lightning bolt crackling with new ideas, zigzagging its way between Gibson and Le guin."
