This Is How You Lose the Time War is an epic love story spanning
time and space. Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the
Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus
begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent
on securing the best possible future for their warring factions.
Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into
something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that
could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their
bond would mean death for each of them. There's still a war going
on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That's how war
works. Right? 'An intimate and lyrical tour of time, myth and

them. Every culture knows their traditions. Every religion, every
history has them hiding in their dark places. There is no part of
the world that does not know them. They are the Djinn. With stories

An all-new anthology of eighteen classic myth retellings featuring
an all-star lineup of award-winning and critically acclaimed
writers. Madeleine L'Engle once said, "When we lose our myths we
lose our place in the universe." The Mythic Dream gathers together
eighteen stories that reclaim the myths that shaped our collective
past, and use them to explore our present and future. From Hades
and Persephone to Kali, from Loki to Inanna, this anthology
explores retellings of myths across cultures and civilizations.
Featuring award-winning and critically acclaimed writers such as
Seanan McGuire, Naomi Novik, Rebecca Roanhorse, JY Yang, Alyssa
Wong, Indrapramit Das, Carlos Hernandez, Sarah Gailey, Ann Leckie,

A fascinating experiment in literary synesthesia in which the
scents, tastes and textures of assorted honeys are transmuted into
a wordsmith's cycle of fey mischief. These bewitching poems and
stories unwind a fevered world of magic and longing and young women
who chance the uncanny and gain wisdom beyond their years.
