‘Action sequences to speed the blood’ The Times HER WORD IS HER WEAPON Exhilarating and original, Every Sky A Grave tells an epic tale of truth and power on the greatest canvas there is: outer space. Mankind has spread out and conquered the galaxy by mastering the fundamental language of the universe. With the right training, the right application of words, truth itself can be rearranged. Language is literally power. Peace reigns now. Order reigns. For if a planet deviates too far from what the authorities plan, an agent is sent out to correct that. To quietly and with great skill, end that world. One such agent is Elyth – a true believer. But on a clandestine mission to stop an uprising before it can truly begin, Elyth comes to realise she hasn’t been told the whole truth herself. There’s so much she doesn’t know. How can there be people whose truth is different to that of the authorities? Elyth’s faith in the powers that be is shaken just when she needs it most. While on her mission, a dark and unknown presence makes itself known at the edges of the galaxy – and it cannot be controlled, for nobody knows its name… For fans of Anne Leckie and N. K. Jemisin comes an explosive and ambitious series about the power of words set far in the future, far away – but with a message about truth that hits home. Every Sky A Grave is a masterful blend of science fiction and fantasy, where words hold the power to shape reality. As Elyth navigates through this complex universe, she uncovers secrets that shake her faith in the system she serves, introducing a thrilling element of suspense and intrigue. For fans of Megan E. O'Keefe (Break the Chains), Tade Thompson (Five Stories High), N. C. Scrimgeour (Sea of Souls), Miles Cameron (The Red Knight), and Derek Künsken (The Year's Best Science Fiction).
