Saint Death’s Daughter by C. S. E. Cooney has won the 2023 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel!

Following the kooky and creepy adventures of necromancer Lanie Stones as she fights to keep her home in the wake of her parents’ murders, and the found family she makes in the aftermath of loss, Saint Death’s Daughter is a whimsically Gothic delight for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Nettle and Bone.

The Solaris team are beyond thrilled that this warm hug of a debut novel has received such a prestigious award. The sequel, Saint Death’s Herald, will be released in Spring 2025!
