The Empress Of Salt And Fortune

"This subtle fantasy novella gives us an exquisitely crafted puzzle box of a tale about a young cleric who discovers 60-year-old intrigues eddying around an exiled empress. It’s a masterclass in storytelling, elegantly unspooled; the kind of story you want to gnaw, sucking on the marrow. The Empress of Salt and Fortune reminds us of the importance of women’s and queer voices in spite and in the face of erasure. It shows us deftly and with understated grace how the rage of marginalized people is raw and powerful and might change history. Even if history doesn’t know it."
