A Fire Born of Exile
A Fire Born of Exile: A Xuya Universe Novel | Aliette de Bodard
2 posts | 2 to read
The Scattered Pearls Belt is a string of habitats under tight military rule . . . where the powerful have become all too comfortable in their positions, and their corruption. But change is coming, with the arrival of Quynh: the mysterious and enigmatic Alchemist of Streams and Hills. To Minh, daughter of the ruling prefect of the Belt, Quynh represents a chance for escape. To Ho, a destitute engineer, Quynh has a mysterious link to her own past . . . and holds a deeper, more sensual appeal. But Quynh has her own secret history, and a plan for the ruling class of the Belt. A plan that will tear open old wounds, shake the heavens, and may well consume her. A beautiful exploration of the power of love, of revenge, and of the wounds of the past, this fast-paced, heart-warming space opera is set against a backdrop of corruption, power and political scheming in the far reaches of the award-winning Xuya universe.

Someone on BlueSky described this to me as “the Count of Monte Cristo, but with lesbians in space” so obviously I immediately downloaded it from hoopla and then came here to tell you lovely people ❤️🚀

OndinetheSea Aliette de Bodard is one of my favorite authors! I am so very excited to read this one(, as someone who was obsessed with The Count of Monte Cristo in high school 😅). And I highly recommend all of her books. 13mo
rwmg I'm working my way through the oeuvre but they do seem to be difficult to get hold of 13mo

Tea_and_Starstuff Oooh, good options. Bookshops and Bonedust is the one I have on pre-order, but I am very curious about Bored Gay Werewolf - it's a fun looking cover! 1y
