The Circus Infinite (2022)
Khan Wong

Bluebird (2022)

Sisters of the Vast Black (2019)
(Sisters of the Vast Black, book 1)
Lina Rather
"Lina Rather cements her reputation as one of our boldest and most thoughtful new voices with a tale of faith and doubt, sisterhood and politics...and some of the coolest living spaceships you'll ever meet."
