Book Description
Rule 68: Don’t accept a jewelled egg from a Rhombian. Certainly not when you’re already trying to hock illicit goods … though are they really illicit if you found them on a long, lost treasure ship that you uncovered for a greedy gangster and calculating noble? Having found the Celeste and escaped both death and imprisonment, the crew of the cargo ship Lyra just wants to get back to hauling bugs for unscrupulous harvesters so they can earn enough for food and fuel. Unfortunately, the crew is missing one of its members. Navigator Ishmael Damath is in the hands of gangster Ludovicus Visi after sacrificing himself for the safety of the others. Said gangster has given him the impossible task of translating an ancient book written in a long-dead language. If Ish doesn’t translate it, he’ll be thrown to the tigers … too bad he didn’t pay more attention in school. The crew suspects Ish didn’t go with the gangster entirely willingly. They plan to rescue him … but that’s hard to do when they have no money and no idea where he is. Captain Rebeka Mino is no closer to her plan to retire to a quiet planet where she can drink whiskey and read romance novels all day. Especially since her estranged daughter, Juniper, seems to be mixed up with the Celeste. Alek finds himself facing a return to a planet he recently escaped from and had hoped never to see again … and he’s still in debt to those who helped him escape. And to launch any sort of rescue, daring or otherwise, Tink is faced with the daunting choice: her home or her family. Can they rescue Ish from the gangster’s clutches? Can they survive the sands of Thraxa? And, most importantly, can they deal with an angry Grim? Find out now as the adventures of the Lyra and her crew continue!

Book Description
Jae is a slave in a dying desert world. Once verdant with water from a magical Well, the land is drying up, and no one remembers the magic needed to keep the water flowing. If a new source isn’t found soon, the people will perish. Jae doesn’t mind, in a way. By law, she is bound by a curse to obey every order given her, no matter how vile. At least in death, she’ll be free. Elan’s family rules the fading realm. He comes to the estate where Jae works, searching for the hidden magic needed to replenish the Well, but it’s Jae who finds it, and she who must wield it. Desperate to save his realm, Elan begs her to use it to locate the Well. But why would a slave—abused, beaten, and treated as less than human—want to save the system that shackles her? Jae would rather see the world burn. Though revenge clouds her vision, she agrees to help if the realm’s slaves are freed. Then Elan’s father arrives. The ruler’s cruelty knows no limits. He is determined that the class system will not change—and that Jae will remain a slave forever. "Ferocious and intelligent." —Kirkus Reviews "Allen’s lush debut mixes current, pressing questions with fantasy while exploring systematic injustice and historical oppression...readers will clamor for the sequel." —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 'An incredible work of scholarship' Sathnam Sanghera Through the story of his own family’s history as slave and plantation owners, Alex Renton looks at how we owe it to the present to understand the legacy of the past. When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Blood Legacy explores what inheritance – political, economic, moral and spiritual – has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved. He also asks, crucially, how the former – himself among them – can begin to make reparations for the past.
