In four weeks, North America-based fans of @aliettedb will be able to get the recently-unveiled new editions of the #DominionOfTheFallen series! All three novels are getting re-published by @awfulagent, with great new covers by Tara O’Shea, on March 10th.
Here’s the synopsis for the BSFA Award-winning first novel, THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS…
Paris, turn of the century.
The Great War between magical Houses of Fallen angels has devastated the city. The Seine runs black with ashes, the great monuments are blackened ruins, and the Houses still fight. It is a quiet war of alliances and intrigues played in worn drawing-rooms and once-elegant gardens.
Silverspires, once the greatest House, is now nothing more than a minor player in those intrigues.
Philippe, a young man from the colonies of the East, is caught harming a helpless Fallen, and held prisoner in House Silverspires. His path intersects with Isabelle, the naive Fallen he has wounded; Selene, the insecure Fallen head of the House; and Madeleine, a washed-out alchemist addicted to angel drugs.
Together, they will either save the House, or cause its final, irrevocable Fall…
***
The other two novels in the series are: THE HOUSE OF BINDING THORNS and THE HOUSE OF SUNDERING FLAMES.
But wait, there’s more! To mark the re-release, de Bodard is running a pre-order campaign: if you buy any of the three novels, in any format, you will get an eBook of the author’s short novel OF BIRTHDAYS, FUNGUS, AND KINDNESS.
