Restless Dead, the Realm of the Djinn, a Poets’ War, and More SFF New Releases!

Yejide and Darwin meet at the gates of Fidelis, an ancient and sprawling cemetery on the island of Trinidad. Yujide has been left a legacy she doesn’t want by a neglectful and bitter mother: she is the one woman with the power to shepherd the city’s souls to the afterlife. Darwin was raised as a devout Rastafarian, forbidden from interacting with death at all… but the only job he’s been able to find is as a gravedigger. Together, they will contend with the restless dead of the city and their own wounds that need to be healed.

Nell Young hasn’t spoken to her father, legendary cartographer Dr. Daniel Young, since he fired her and ruined her reputation over a cheap highway map that sparked an argument between them. But when her father is found dead in his office with that same worthless map hidden in his desk, Nell has no choice but to investigate both his death and the map. And what she finds is this apparently common thing might be the last of its kind–because a mysterious person has been hunting them down and destroying them.

After the powerful AI named Karma goes silent, there is nothing to save the dying city of Chittagong from falling into the sea and taking all of its remaining residents with it. Kundo goes searching through Chittagong for his missing wife; along the way he will build a crew of unlikely companions and journey from cyberspace to the magical realm of the djinn.

Hollow’s End is a picturesque small town turned tourist attraction because of its “miracle” crops, including the iridescent wheat grown on Wren’s family farm. But Quicksilver blight has come, destroying those crops one by one, and then bleeding into the earth, infecting the livestock and wildlife… and then the humans. Wren is one of the last people standing, and it’s up to her and her ex to find the source of the blight and save their town.

Cadenza is a city run by poets, also called the City of Words. Its libraries are legendary and legion; its printing presses are its thrumming heartbeat. Carlo Mazzoni arrives with the intention of making a name for himself, but as he steps through the gates, the city’s bells are tolling for the death of the poet-leader. Instead of an exciting place to perfect his art, he finds a city at the verge of war–and a web of intrigue that might destroy Cadenza and take him with it.
