First full collection from the award-winning author of innovative science fiction and off-kilter fantasy.
Fifteen stories selected by the author from more than two decades' worth of work; includes the BSFA Award-winning "Liberty Bird", a Hidden Empire story, and a new tale, "Sin of Omission", written especially for this collection.
Jaine Fenn refuses to be pigeon-holed. Every story is fresh and unanticipated, from a society policed by sanctioned Angel Assassins to a world in which the Aztec kingdom lives on, from Fortean tales to colliding timelines in a search for the ultimate narcotic... Prepare to be dazzled.
