Welcome to the City of Words…

Tommaso Cellini, celebrated ruler of Cadenza, is dead. For Carlo Mazzoni, an aspiring poet, it is the worst possible moment to arrive at the city gates, his dreams of literary fame turning to disappointment and disgrace.

For Vittoria – known to all but a handful as the notorious ink maid Hypatia – Tommaso’s death is overshadowed by the disappearance of her creative spark, while Vittoria’s impulsive sister Maddelina seeks to make her own name with a daring conspiracy.

As Cadenza descends into anarchy amid rumours of war with its rival Venice, Carlo and the two sisters become entangled in intrigue, murder and revolution.

Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin.

Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve.

With the right image, values and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent – the Virtual elite – and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water or even humanity.

The system has no flaws. Until the elusive “Ten Percent Thief” steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world.

Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.

‘A masterful work of science fiction, complex and engaging.’ – S.B. Divya, Nebula Award finalist and author of Runtime

‘This is fiction playing for the highest stakes – and winning.’ – Chandrahas Choudhury, author of Clouds

Revealing the cover for The Knave of Secrets by Alex Livingston

We are so excited to be publishing The Knave of Secrets by Alex Livingston in June 2022 and reveal the brilliant, brand new cover to you today!

A twisty tale of card sharps and con artists, The Knave of Secrets is set in a world of magic where secrets are traded and gambled like coin.

Never stake more than you can afford to lose.

When failed magician turned cardsharp Valen Quinol is given the chance to play in the Forbearance Game—the invitation-only tournament where players gamble with secrets—he can’t resist. Or refuse, for that matter, according to the petty gangster sponsoring his seat at the table. Valen beats the man he was sent to play, and wins the most valuable secret ever staked in the history of the tournament.

Now Valen and his motley crew are being hunted by thieves, gangsters, spies and wizards, all with their own reasons for wanting what’s in that envelope. It’s a game of nations where Valen doesn’t know all the rules or who all the players are, and can’t see all the moves. But he does know if the secret falls into the wrong hands, it could plunge the whole world into war…

The Knave of Secrets is out in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook June 2022.

Silk Fire cover reveal

We are thrilled to share with you the gorgeous cover for Silk Fire by Zabé Ellor!

Set in a planet-sized matriarchal city where magic and technology freely bleed together, a male courtesan’s quest for vengeance against his aristocrat father draws him into an ancient struggle between dragons, necromancers, and his home district’s violent history.

Silk Fire is out July 2022 in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook.

Koré knew that meddling in politics could end badly, particularly when trying to sabotage his aristocratic father’s campaign before it destroys the city he has come to love. And when a chance encounter with a dying god imbues him with magic-breathing powers, it gets worse: he suddenly becomes a commodity – and a political player.

But the corruption in his city runs deeper than just one man, and an ally’s betrayal unleashes an army of the dead on his home street. Koré must trust the world with his deepest secret to stand beside the woman and man he’s finally let himself love, as only the bright truth of dragon’s fire can break the iron fist of a necromancer’s hold.

Revealing the UK cover for Mickey7 by Edward Ashton

We are delighted to reveal the incredible cover for the UK edition of Mickey7 by Edward Ashton!

Cover at by Matt Needle

Dying isn’t any fun… but at least it’s a living.

Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal— the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom on Midgard.

After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles really begin.

Film-fans my recognise the title from the exciting news last year that Mickey7 had been acquired by Warner Bros, with Plan B to produce.

It may be a little while until we can watch Mickey7 on the big screen—but the hardcover, eBook, and audiobook will be out in the UK 17th February 2022!

The Void Ascendant
Cover by James Paul Jones.

Seven years ago, the last survivor of Earth crashed through uncountable dimensions and fetched up in a strange new world. Now Nick Prasad owes his life and livelihood to the royal family that employs him as a prophet, even though they are servants of the Ancient Ones who destroyed his home.
When a long-expected war breaks out, he’s eager to help organize troops and supplies… until he’s approached by a spy who claims to possess a secret that could end the reign of the Ancient Ones forever. The first step is jailbreaking a god who’s probably been locked up a little too long (and that’s the easy part).
Nick must choose between joining a fragile resistance founded on secrets and lies, or revealing it to the enemies he’s sworn to serve. But if everything works, there might be a chance to free the entire multiverse from the grasp of the Ancient Ones… both past and future.
