The final chapter begins.

2,000 years of history, one last battle, and a legacy hanging by a thread.

The path to peace is a knife's edge, and every moment is a chance to lose it all. Edge of Ascension by @pangolinfox.bsky.social is here on October 3rd!

Thank you for ordering direct from the IQ site!

Yes, we've been having some issues with getting our titles to Denmark and Sweden (thanks Brexit 🙃) so we've unfortunately had to 'pause' shipping to them for now while we try to figure something else out.

You know that phrase "there's a quote for everything"? Well, at IQ, this is absolutely true.

These two books are wildly different (furry fantasy and literary climate fiction), but this highlights one important thing: all media consumption is political (even if it doesn't feel like it).

Cover of Remnant's Hope, forthcoming book of The Resonance Tetralogy, with a quote:

"Can we save anything?" the glider asked, not harshly, but with pointed urgency. "Or is this a lost cause?" Elysser rouched their paw to the wall. Underneath the slime and sand, they felt the faint glow of resonance in its surface. "Nothing's lost till we give it up," they said quietly, gripping their axe.

It's here! "Hopefully Ever After" by James at Strange Little Stories is finally on the (digital) shelves!

Because hope is not something you wait for, it’s something you make on purpose.

Is it just me, or does it feel like this couldn't come at a better time?
