Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders
Some good news at these difficult times. Our Guest of Honour, Aliette de Bodard’s latest book from the Dominion of the Fallen series, Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders will be out on the 7th of July.
The cover copy reads:
From the author of the critically acclaimed Dominion of the Fallen trilogy comes a tale of dragons, and Fallen angels — and also kissing, sarcasm and stabbing.
Lunar New Year should be a time for familial reunions, ancestor worship, and consumption of an unhealthy amount of candied fruit.
But when dragon prince Thuan brings home his brooding and ruthless husband Asmodeus for the New Year, they find not interminable family gatherings, but a corpse outside their quarters. Asmodeus is thrilled by the murder investigation; Thuan, who gets dragged into the political plotting he'd sworn off when he left, is less enthusiastic.
It'll take all of Asmodeus's skill with knives, and all of Thuan's diplomacy, to navigate this one — as well as the troubled waters of their own relationship....
A sparkling standalone book set in a world of dark intrigue.
So, get yourself down to Amazon (UK, US and FR) or Kobo to get your copy pre-ordered now!
