I may be semi-retired here and it’s been a very long time since I did this regardless of that, but when offered the chance I couldn’t NOT get in on the promotion of this most excellent series. More info below!
Aliette de Bodard’s Dominion of the Fallen trilogy is getting a re-release, complete with new covers! I can’t believe it’s been ten years since it’s debut, but on March 10th, 2026, a whole new gaggle of bookish nerds can discover (or rediscover!) this wonderful trilogy.
What’s it about, you ask? Well…

Enter a Paris wrecked by magical cataclysms and the mysterious Houses that hold the city together in this beloved series of fallen angels, devious alchemists, and Vietnamese dragons…

With a deliciously gothic atmosphere, queer characters from across the world, and high intrigue as the various Houses strive for control of the shattered city, the DOMINION OF THE FALLEN trilogy asks ‘what is the price of power and what is the price of peace?’

These new editions of the award-winning trilogy feature bonus stories set in the world of the Fallen, introductions by Kate Elliott and Adrian Tchaikovsky, and cover art by Tara O’Shea!
Pre-orders are available for the full trilogy right now, in ebook and paperback, and if you’d like more info on the story within you can check out book 1, The House of Shattered Wings, here.
