  The Grave of Perfection February 9, 2027

  In the final instalment of the Tyrant Philosophers quintet, award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky takes us back to Ilmar, the 'City of Last Chances', a decade after our story began. Has the Palleseen campaign to impose 'perfection' on a chaotically magical world reached breaking point? It's almost ten years since the Gownhall Rising, in which time the Palleseen grip on the city has only strengthened. Landmarks like the Mahanic Temple and even the Gownhall itself have been torn down to be replaced by Palleseen edifices.

  The Eighth Face March 4, 2027

  On an island alone in the sea, a monastic community of clones live in the shadow of a wrecked spaceship. There are seven clone lineages in their Retreat, and just seven human faces in this world. They work, pray and replicate, knowing that all this was ordained – that their peaceful lives were intended by the Firstcomers who originally landed here. But the tide is about to turn. While serving a punishment detail on the beach, rebellious clone Six-Maijo makes a harrowing discovery: a body has washed ashore with a face belonging to no known lineage.

  Preaching to the Choir August 11, 2026

  She knew her boyfriend Ross Enderbough was rich. Like, 'old money' rich. She knew he was the scion of some eccentric British line that predates the whole United States.

Ross has been summoned to Enderby, the family mansion built as a monastery centuries ago, for an exclusive, mysterious family gathering that happens only once a generation. Spouses and partners aren't invited, but Ross has asked Elena to come anyway for moral support.

  Shroud June 3, 2025

  They looked into the darkness and the darkness looked back . . . New planets are fair game to asset strippers and interplanetary opportunists – and a commercial mission to a distant star system discovers a moon that is pitch black, but alive with radio activity. Its high-gravity, high-pressure, zero-oxygen environment is anathema to human life, but ripe for exploitation. They named it Shroud. Under no circumstances should a human end up on Shroud’s inhospitable surface. Except a catastrophic accident sees Juna Ceelander and Mai Ste Etienne doing just that.
