Four women, soldier, scholar, poet, and socialite are caught up on
different sides of a violent rebellion. As war erupts and their
families are torn apart, they fear they may disappear into the
unwritten pages of history. Using the sword and the pen, the body
and the voice, they struggle not just to survive, but to make
history. Praise for The Winged Histories: "Like an alchemist, Sofia
Samatar spins golden landscapes and dazzling sentences...a fantasy
novel for those who take their sentences with the same slow,
unfolding beauty as a cup of jasmine tea, and for adventurers like
Tav, who are willing to charge ahead into the unknown."--Shelf
Awareness (starred review) "A highly recommended indulgence."
--N.K. Jemisin, New York Times Book Review "Above all, it's a story
about love--the terrible love that tears lives apart. Doomed love;
impossible love; love that requires a rewriting of the rules, be it
for a country, a person, or a story."--Jenn Northington, Tor.com
"An imaginative, poetic, and dark meditation on how history gets
made." --Hello Beautiful Sofia Samatar is the author of the novels
A Stranger in Olondria and The Winged Histories and a collection,
