About this Event

Join us for an evening panel with three fantastic SFF voices—acclaimed author Fonda Lee and debut novelists Soraya Bouazzaoui and A. S. Tamaki—as they introduce worlds shaped by ancient myth, fragile alliances and the dangerous dance of power. They will be in conversation with Tashu Suri, award winning author of The Isle in the Silver Sea & The Jasmine Thorne.
The Last Contract of Isako is the sci-fi you didn't know you needed: corporate samurai... in space. This is the first adult science fiction novel from the award-winning author of Jade City.
Aicha is an evocative fantasy debut romance fizzing with female rage and desire, as the daughter of a Moroccan freedom fighter unleashes the creature under her skin as she prepares to do battle with the conquering Portuguese.
The Book of Fallen is Shogun meets Game of Thrones in the blockbuster epic fantasy event of the year. Debut author A. S. Tamaki weaves a powerful tale of ambition, vengeance and sacrifice in this masterful fantasy retelling of an ancient Samurai saga, packed with memorable characters, stunning worldbuilding and epic adventure.
