"The Moonstone Caravan"

 
In this tale, a young merchant's apprentice named Zara embarks on a perilous quest across a fantastical Silk Road-inspired world. Gifted with the ability to decipher celestial maps, Zara must locate the legendary Moonstone to save her land from encroaching shadow creatures.

 
Her journey through treacherous dunes and long-forgotten cities is filled with danger and discovery, as she unravels the mystery of her own past and its connection to the impending darkness. Accompanied by a shape-shifting desert fox and a gruff nomad warrior, each harboring their own secrets, Zara's adventure becomes a test of friendship and personal growth.

 
The story weaves together elements of folk tales and coming-of-age narratives, exploring themes of self-discovery and the strength found in diversity. With its lyrical prose evoking the oral storytelling tradition, the novel immerses readers in a world rich with astronomical lore and cultural exchange, offering a fresh perspective on the classic quest narrative while emphasizing the importance of preserving ancient wisdom in a changing world.

    AN EPIC NOVEL ABOUT CIVIL WAR–ERA NASHVILLE’S “PUBLIC WOMEN,” AN AGE-OLD SECRET SOCETY, AND THE EARTH-SHAKING POWER OF THE FEMALE 
     
    In 1862, after a tragedy at home, twenty-two-year-old Sylvie Swift parts ways with her twin brother to trace the origins of an enigmatic playscript that’s landed on their doorstep. This text leads her to Nashville, an occupied city bustling with soldiers, saboteurs, partisans, powerful men—and powerful women. Sylvie translates the playscript by day, but at night, drawn into the work by the chief of the Union Army’s Secret Service, she acts as a spy. 
     
    Both endeavors acquaint her with a sisterhood whose members—including Hannah, a fiery revolutionary to whom Sylvie is increasingly drawn—possess potentially monstrous powers. Sylvie soon becomes entangled in the Cult of Chaos, a feminist society steadfast in its ancient mission to eradicate the violence of men. 
     
    Inspired by Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and the true story of Nashville’s attempt to exile its prostitutes during the American Civil War, Daughters of Chaos weaves together “found” texts, fabulism, and queer themes to question familiar notions of history and family, warfare and power. 
     
    “A dazzling synthesis of history, myth, and sheer invention. Fawkes is a bold, wild, funny writer, unafraid of taking risks. I’m eager to see what she does next.”—Charles Yu, National Book Award–winning author of Interior Chinatown

    When the stars whisper, we have to listen … 
     
    An alien signal. 
     
    Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. 
     
    But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything. 
     
    The Anomaly that's suffocating Earth isn't natural, and decoding this message could be our one shot at saving the planet. 
     
    The trouble is, we don't even know where to start. 
     
    What will it take to decipher the alien signal and unlock the secrets of the Anomaly? And how should we reply when we decode their message? 
     
    A lot of people don't think we should trust the aliens who are reaching out to us. I can't pretend I don't understand why. 
     
    But with no other way of putting things right, we have to at least figure out what they're saying. 
     
    The clock is ticking until the Anomaly consumes us. The fate of humanity lies in my hands all over again. 
     
    And this time, the choices I make will echo through the cosmos …
