Get an exclusive look at the cover and first chapter from august clarke's adult fantasy debut Metal From Heaven now.
here for).is set in a world transformed by industrial change and class struggle. One part lesbian revenge quest and one part intricately plotted political fantasy, the story follows charismatic heroine, Marney Honeycutt as she seeks justice against the wealthy mining empire who murdered her family.A malleable metal more durable than steel, ichorite is a toxic natural resource fueling national growth, and ambitious industrialist Yann Chauncey helms production of this miraculous ore.
We had stood like this all night and now a gorgeous orange morning fell over Burn Street. Sunlight licked between bruisy limestone smokestacks and telegraphy spires, and the crumbling knuckled colonnades of an empire that’s long gone. Stripes of yellow everywhere. Yann I. Chauncey himself was depicted in a stained glass window above the foundry door. He watched from above in flat candy colors.
My oldest sister Edna approached the crowd that wasn’t there. I watched the breeze ruffle the wisps on her nape. Blonder than mine. She never could put her bonnet on right. Edna raised her hands, palms flat, fingers stretched, and the singing cut on cue. She tossed out her chin. “We address Yann Industry Chauncey as the staff who made him.
