Back Through the Flaming Door

A new Fallow Sisters story

A new Inspector Chen story set in Singapore Three

A new tale set on the Matriarchal Mars of Winterstrike and Phosphorus

A new story from the world of The Ghost Sister and Bloodmind

All this and so much more in Liz Williams’ stunning new collection. A mix of brand new stories and those only available previously in digital format via subscription comprise the majority of the book, with very few stories available elsewhere. Thirty-two stories that enchant, dazzle, and blur genre boundaries; thirty-two stories that take the reader from realms of wonder and magic to worlds of intrigue and danger.
