  “A beautifully written, bittersweet mystery in a wonderfully imaginative space setting” from the award-winning author of the Dominion of the Fallen trilogy (Fantasy Literature).   The Citadel of Weeping Pearls was a great wonder; a perfect meld between cutting-edge technology and esoteric sciences—its inhabitants capable of teleporting themselves anywhere, its weapons small and undetectable and deadly.   Thirty years ago, threatened by an invading fleet from the Dai Viet Empire, the Citadel disappeared and was never seen again.   But now the empire itself is under siege, on the verge of a war against an enemy that turns their own mindships against them; and the Empress, who once gave the order to raze the Citadel, is in desperate need of its weapons. Meanwhile, on a small isolated space station, an engineer obsessed with the past works on a machine that will send her thirty years back, to the height of the Citadel’s power.   But the Citadel’s disappearance still extends chains of grief and regret all the way into the fraught atmosphere of the Imperial Court; and this casual summoning of the past might have world-shattering consequences . . .   A new book set in the award-winning, critically acclaimed Xuya universe.  Praise for Aliette de Bodard “Startlingly original.” —The Guardian   “A writer who deserves attention.” —SF Signal

  Who knows? Maybe you’ll meet some sexy Viking and bear him many children! 
  The tickets to Viking Times were supposed to be a friendly joke—a way for Sylvia and her boyfriend to reconnect while indulging in her love for history. But when Sylvia finds herself alone on the big night, she goes anyway, never expecting to be involved, let alone rescued, from a demon attack. Her savior…a sexy red-headed Viking warrior, who—surprise!—also happens to be a vampire. Apparently, she doesn’t have enough problems in her life (disappointing ex-boyfriend, disappearing teenage BFF, sordid childhood trauma)—she has to up the ante and include the supernatural (vampires, demons, and witches, oh my!). As she falls deeper into this frighteningly familiar world, Sylvia discovers that she can’t accept her future without confronting her past. 
  Theo knows he wants her blood from the first moment, but as he explores the mystery surrounding Sylvia, he wonders for the first time if he wants more. Struggling between his bloodlust and her pursuers, Theo must decide if Sylvia is the one to finally invite into his life. 
  The demon known as Mr. Pilkington has spent a long time studying desire, but when it comes to his own needs, he can be as willfully blind as the humans he observes. Until it comes to the one he wants…
