Before she was betrayed and left for dead, Tenny was many things:
prodigal daughter of the Driftwood City underworld. Leader of the
Thorn Orphans, the gang fighting for a better tomorrow. City
shaman, able to bend her home's boroughs to her will.
Partner-in-crime to Cole, the runaway rich boy with powers just
like hers. But that was all before. Four years later, Tenny is an
exile, sleepwalking through life and waiting to die. But a chance
encounter puts her on a bloody path back to the life she left
behind. Friendless and powerless, she returns to Driftwood City,
only to find a world where the Thorn Orphans have finally won. A
better tomorrow, today. And all that progress tethered to the
heartbeat of the friend who ordered her death. Her city. Her
vengeance. It's an impossible choice. But if Tenny wants to
survive, she'll have to choose one.
Not the Tales You Were Told Once upon a time, Rudyard Kipling's
Just So Stories-fantastical yarns of wondrous creatures in faraway
places-bewitched children across the world. But times change.
Today, Kipling's writing tells us a different tale; of a love of
Empire, and the troubling legacy of British colonialism. In Not So
Stories, writers of colour from around the world reclaim these
stories and remake them into something new. Something different.
Something that belongs to us all. Including stories by Adiwijaya
Iskandar, Joseph Elliott-Coleman, Raymond Gates, Stewart Hotston,
Zina Hutton, Georgina Kamsika, Cassandra Khaw, Paul Krueger, Tauriq
Moosa, Jeannette Ng, Ali Nouraei, Wayne Santos, Zedeck Siew and
Achala Upendran, with illustrations by Woodrow Phoenix and a
foreword by Nikesh Shukla.

vengeance. It's an impossible choice. But if Tenny wants to
survive, she'll have to choose. A meditation on friendship, greed,
and the uneasy intersection between justice and vengeance, this
standalone fantasy puts a magical spin on pulpy revenge sagas like
JOHN WICK and KILL BILL.

A soldier with a curse Tala lost her family to the empress's army
and has spent her life avenging them in battle. But the empress's
crimes don't haunt her half as much as the crimes Tala has
committed against the laws of magic . . . and her own flesh and
blood. A prince with a debt Jimuro has inherited the ashes of an
empire. Now that the revolution has brought down his kingdom, he
must depend on Tala to bring him home safe. But it was his army who
murdered her family. Now Tala will be his redemption - or his
downfall. A detective with a grudge Xiulan is an eccentric,
pipe-smoking detective who can solve any mystery - but the biggest
mystery of all is her true identity. She's a princess in disguise,
and she plans to secure her throne by presenting her father with
the ultimate prize: the world's most wanted prince. A thief with a
broken heart Lee is a small-time criminal who lives by only one
law: Leave them before they leave you. But when Princess Xiulan
asks her to be her partner in crime - and offers her a magical
animal companion as a reward - she can't say no, and soon finds she
doesn't want to leave the princess behind. This band of rogues and
royals should all be enemies, but they unite for a common purpose:
to defeat an unstoppable killer who defies the laws of magic. In
this battle, they will forge unexpected bonds of friendship and
love that will change their lives - and begin to change the world.
