A Wild Radiance

This fast-paced, romantic, abundantly queer, historical fantasy explores the intertwined pain, fear, joy, and beauty of self-discovery in defiance of oppression from an authoritarian society. Alluring and electrifying magic. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *Furiously tender and radically hopeful, A Wild Radiance is the book all of us need right now. It’s a book for a bad world, which helps us imagine a better one-and begin the work of building it for one another. I just adored it. * Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Everlasting *This successful poly love story with an inventive anti-capitalist worldview will find an audience with progressive steampunk fans. * Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books *Balancing scenes both grim and heartwarming, Mora (The Immeasurable Depth of You) weaves a cathartic, hopeful tale of awakening to the realities of indoctrination, fighting against exploitative capitalism, and the redemptive power of human connection. * Publishers Weekly *
